摘要

本文描述了无刺蜜蜂(Meliponini)成熟幼虫的外表面和成年工蜂后腿后表面的微观结构(刚毛、针状体和多尖状针状体)，并对它们的功能进行了解剖比较和评估。结果表明，工蜂后腿上的这些特征为真刚毛，而成熟幼虫上的这些特征为多尖的针状体。然而，有人提出，在某些情况下，多尖的针状体在积极使用时也可以起到同样的减少摩擦的作用。

INTEGUMENTAL MICROSTRUCTURES OF STINGLESS BEES (APOIDEA: APIDAE: MELIPONINI)

Abstract Herein, microstructures (setae, spicules, and multi-pronged spicules) found on 1) the outer surfaces of mature larvae of stingless bees (Meliponini) and 2) the posterior surfaces of the hind legs of adult workers of these same bees are described, anatomically compared, and their functions assessed. It is concluded that those features on the hind legs of workers are true setae whereas those on mature larvae are multi-pronged spicules. However, it is proposed that under certain circumstances the multi-pronged spicules may well serve to similarly reduce friction while being actively employed.
