大黄蜂是山区重要的传粉昆虫。四川和重庆的高原地区（合在一起，广义上的四川）包括世界上最大的大黄蜂多样性热点的一部分，占中国物种的一半，占世界物种的五分之一以上。在本文中，我们首次回顾了这种多样化但特别鲜为人知的动物群，从作者在野外工作期间和博物馆收藏的精选样本中提取了6705只蜜蜂，以及1123份文献记录（重叠集）。在这些材料中，我们认识到56个物种有847个名称（包括次亚种名称）。四川、甘肃报道了一新种王家兔（Bombus）。在这部分范围内发现了一种以前没有描述过的彩色图案。六种记录首次从四川还是重庆地区(b . avanus b . branickii b difficillimus b .云淡的形,山溪鲵),其中b avanus只是第二个全球出版记录。其中一种为braccatus，为四川特有物种，2005年确认存在。我们为两性提供诊断和物种检索。描述了颜色变化，绘制了川渝地区的分布图，绘制了海拔和季节活动图，并列出了作者记录的食用植物。
Abstract Bumblebees are important pollinators in mountainous regions. The highland region of Sichuan and Chongqing (together, Sichuan in the former broad sense) includes part of the greatest hotspot of bumblebee diversity worldwide, with half of the species of China and more than a fifth of the world's species. In this paper we present the first review of this diverse but particularly poorly known fauna, drawing on 6705 bees from selective samples made by the authors during field work and from museum collections, together with 1123 literature records (an overlapping set). Among this material we recognise 56 species that have 847 names (including infrasubspecific names). One new species, Bombus (Pyrobombus) wangae, is described from Sichuan and Gansu. B. laesus is found to have a colour pattern in this part of its range that was previously undescribed. Six species are recorded from the Sichuan‐Chongqing region for the first time (B. avanus, B. branickii, B. difficillimus B. humilis, B. norvegicus, B. tibetanus), of which B. avanus is only the second published record worldwide. One species, B. braccatus, is endemic to Sichuan and is confirmed as extant in 2005. We provide diagnoses and keys to species for both sexes. Colour variation is described, distributions within the Sichuan‐Chongqing region are mapped, altitudinal and seasonal activity are plotted, and the authors’ records of food plants are listed.
