Two new records of gynandromorphs in Xylocopa Latreille, 1802 (Hymenoptera, Apidae). Gynandromorphs are deviant morphological individuals with genetically distinct male and female tissues. Records of sex anomalies seems to be important to better understand the mechanisms regulating phenotypic expression. Herein, two new cases of gynandromorphs in carpenter bee species of Xylocopa from Brazil are described and figured: a mixed gynandromorph of the X. (Neoxylocopa) brasilianorum (Linnaeus, 1767…

Two new cases of gynandromorphism in Xylocopinae bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) from India
ABSTRACT Two new cases of gynandromorphs in carpenter bees are described and illustrated for the first time in Ceratina (Pithitis) binghami Cockerell and Xylocopa (Biluna) nasalis Westwood. The…
The first cases of gynandromorphism in oil‑collecting bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae: Centridini, Tapinotaspidini)
TLDR
Described gynandromorphs of two species oil-collecting bees: Lophopedia nigrispinis and Epicharis iheringii, both with partial bilateral phenotypic asymmetry, both of which have a female phenotype predominantly on mesosoma and metasoma.

TLDR
The first known gynandromorphic bee in the tribe Augochlorini is described, a specimen of the nocturnal bee, Megalopta genalis, which demonstrates how developmental switch mechanisms might generate novel structural traits similar to those expressed as a syndrome of brood parasitic traits.

TLDR
A gynandromorph is discovered in the hyperdiverse ant genus Pheidole whose pattern of bilateral head mosaicism occurs repeatedly across a wide range of ant species and is proposed to provide new insights into the modularity and evolvability of morphological traits.
