The Allodapine bee, Braunsapis picitarsis (Cameron) (Allodapini: Xylocopinae: Apidae) is polylectic and found to be an important pollinator for many agricultural and horticultural crops. As B. picitarsis was found to be cryptic to other species, the DNA barcoding was done to confirm the species identity. Their nesting sites were located at dried twigs of peacock flower tree, Caesalpinia pulcherrima (L.), and a total of 83 nests were collected from 2019 to 2021. The bees preferred nesting sites with an entrance diameter of 2.83 0.06 mm with a nest length of 5.38 0.30 cm. The total development period was 56.85 0.84 days in the laboratory. Pupa exhibited difference in eye colour and body pigmentation during their development. DNA contigs. The contigs developed were analysed for the presence of stop codons using the software MEGA 7. The sequences generated from the study was analyzed for sequence homology using nucleotide BLASTn at NCBI and submitted to BankIt, GenBank for the generation of accession number. Details of the species were uploaded at Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD systems v4) to generate the barcodes.

The present study aimed to determine the magnetic susceptibility of roadside dust collected from different parts of Kolkata city, West Bengal, India. The average value of susceptibility was 4.96 × 10 –6 m 3 /kg, the highest being 19.6 × 10 –6 m 3 /kg and the lowest being 1.2 × 10 –6 m 3 /kg. The frequency-dependent susceptibility value (average = 2.19) indicated the dominance of stable-single domain grains with a low concentration of superparamagnetic grains at a few locations. SEM analysis showed morphological diversity of road dust – irregular, aggregate, angular and cloudy. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis of the dust particles revealed that Ca-rich, Na-rich and Fe-rich particles were abundant. Compositions were variable with the morphology. The mapping of magnetic susceptibility indicated that the susceptibility values were higher in areas with heavy vehicular traffic and other polluting sources. However, some areas with high pollution had open spaces, indicating the dispersion of magnetic pollutants. The study indicated the degradation of the environment due to anthropogenic activities.
