HYMENOPTERA, Apoidea Insects in the genus Sphecodes (fam. Halictidae) live at
the expense of other insects. This
parasitoids appropriate the nests of bees of the genus Halictus and of some Andrenidae.
Ferton (1923) discussed the relationship between S. monilicornis Kirby (subquadratus Smith) and H. malachurus
Kirby. The burrow of the latter is
always guarded, and it is necessary for the Sphecodes parasitoid to kill the defender before occupying the
nest, the body of the latter being ejected from the burrow (Clausen 1940). References: Please refer to <biology.ref.htm>,
