摘要

Chemical baits are commonly used in studies in the Neotropical Region to attract male orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina). Occasionally these scents also attract other insects, including other bees. In this paper we report for the first time the capture of a specimen of Ericrocidini, a female Acanthopus excellens (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Ericrocidini), in an eugenol bait trap in a gallery forest in Paracatu, western portion of the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil.
