We describe and illustrate the male, female, and pupa of two new species of Neocorynura from the Colombian Andes, and provide information on their nesting behavior, host plants and social organization. Nests of Neocorynura iguaquensis sp. nov. Smith-Pardo \& Gonzalez and N. muiscae sp. nov. Smith-Pardo \& Gonzalez were found in flat or vertical banks, and contained one to three adult females. The percentage of multi-female nests varied considerably from 8.3\% to 40\% of the total of dissected nests at different times in 2000 and 2003. The ovarian development, wing and mandibular wear of females in the nests with two or more females indicated that they were the offspring that remained in the nest before dispersal or a mother and a newly emerged daughter. Pollen taken from the nest cells and scopae of museum specimens showed that both species rely heavily on pollen of asteraceans and may be active year-round. Details on the nest architecture and comments on the phylogenetic placement of both species are also provided. Direct observations on the multi-female nests are required to determine whether or not such nests contain temporary assemblages or truly semisocial colonies.

We describe Paratrigona uwa sp. nov., species apparently endemic to the cordillera Oriental of Colombia. We also provide new geographical records and a synopsis of the 10 species of Paratrigona that occur in Colombia. We did not find specimens of P. impuntacta and P. ornaticeps in the examined insect collections; therefore, it is likely that previous records of these species for Colombia are misidentified specimens.

The wool carder bee, Anthidium manicatum, is the most widely distributed unmanaged bee in the world. It was unintentionally introduced to North America in the late 1960s from Europe, and subsequently, into South America, New Zealand and the Canary Islands. We provide information on the local distribution, seasonal abundance and sex ratio of A. manicatum from samples collected in an intensive two-year survey across Utah, USA. Anthidium manicatum was detected in 10 of the 29 Utah counties, largely in urban and suburban settings. Combining presence-only and MaxEnt background data from literature, museum databases and new records from Utah, we constructed three species distribution models to examine the potential distribution of A. manicatum in its native Eurasian range as well as invaded ranges of North and South America. The A. manicatum model based on locality and background data from the species\’ native range predicted 50\% of the invasive records associated with high habitat suitability (HS \>= 0.90). The invasive North American model predicted a much broader distribution of A. manicatum (214\% increase); whereas, the South American model predicted a narrower distribution (88\% decrease). The poor predictive power of the latter model in estimating suitable habitats in the invasive South American range of A. manicatum suggests that the bee may still be limited by the bioclimatic constraints associated with a novel environment. Estimates of niche similarity (D) between the native and invasive models find that the North America bioclimatic niche is more similar to the bioclimatic niche of the native model (D = 0.78), whereas the bioclimatic niche of the South America invasion is relatively dissimilar (D = 0.69). We discuss the naturalization of A. manicatum in North America, possibly through punctuated dispersal, the probability of suitable habitats across the globe and the synanthropy exhibited by this invasive species.
