Resumo

Anecdotal observations of colletine bees visiting flowers of the genus Monnina Ruiz & Pav. (Polygalaceae) are presented. The colletine genera documented here as visitors of flowers of Monnina belong to the tribes Caupolicanini (Caupolicana Spinola), Colletini (Colletes Latreille, Mourecotelles Toro & Cabezas and Rhynchocolletes Moure), Dissoglottini (Mydrosomella Michener), Eulonchopriini (Belopria Moure), and Lonchopriini (Biglossidia Moure). It is expected that these observations stimulate further detailed studies of the floral biology of Monnina and of the interactions with their bees acting as visitors.
