Abstract

São estudados ninhos de Chrysosarus (Dactylomegachile) affabilis (Mitchell) coletados em apiários, respectivamente, nos Departamentos de Soriano (Dolores) e Colônia (La Horqueta. Conchillas, Piedra de los Indios e San Pedro), Uruguay. Como em Chrysosarus (Chrysosarus) tapytensis (Mitchell) (Laroca, 1971: Bol. Univ. Fed. Paraná, Zool 4: 39-44), os ninhos apresentam estruturas (paredes laterais e opérculos) feitas de barro, porém revestidas de pétalas (possivelmente de Echium plantaginium, Lotus corniculatus, Mirabilis jalapa e/ou de Brassica sp.).
