            <p>Mating behavior (Figs. 2 A‑D)</p>
            <p> Several specimens of  Megacyllene angulata were observed on a single specimen of  Doliocarpus dentatus (Aubl.) Standl (Dilleniaceae) . The vine was cut, but it was still fixed on the canopy of a large tree of  Luehea cymulosa Spruce ex Benth. (Malvaceae) . In the cut part of the vines (about 1.5 meters above the ground) there was sap dripping and several male and female specimens of  M. angulata clustered in this region (Fig. 2A). The specimens showed a repetitive behavior climbing from the cut part to a region 3 meters above the cut and vice‑versa.During this movement there were several copulation attempts, in which males frantically pursued females (Fig. 2B). Most of the copulations, when initiated, were interrupted by aggressive behaviors of other males biting especially the pronotum and antennal base of the male specimen in mating (Fig. 2C). Couples, which escaped the attacks, climbed to the upper part of the vine (about 2 meters above the cut) and remained immobile on the region of the vine not directly exposed to sunlight (Fig. 2D). </p>
