03BE87DB332BFFBDFEB2FF664FF4FDFF.taxon	description	Figure 32 EGG DIMENSIONS: Length 1.5, 1.6 mm long; maximum diameter 0.35, 0.4 mm (n = 2). Shape (fig. 32) elongate, slightly curved; broadly round at front end, more narrowly rounded at rear. Color creamy white, semitransparent, with smooth but not shiny chorion. Micropyle not visible with stereomicroscope while submerged in Kahle’s solution, but faintly visible after critical-point drying before coating as a circular, somewhat shiny area, on the anterior end; SEM examination failed because of poor preservation.	en	Rozen, Jerome G., Wyman, Eli S.

03BE87DB332BFFBDFEB4FD334E28FA37.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS: Bee pupae are rarely described and none of any Xeromelssinae has been so treated. However, Torchio and Burwell (1987) provided information on those available for the Colletidae, and noted that the pupa of Hylaeus leptocephalus (Morawitz) (as H. bisinuatus) alone among the representatives of other colletid subfamilies bore a “ terminal spine, ” possibly a homolog of the median tubercle on tergum 7 of X. sielfeldi. However, the leg ” spines ” reported for pupal H. leptocephalus appear to be lacking in X. sielfeldi.	en	Rozen, Jerome G., Wyman, Eli S.

03BE87DB332BFFBDFEB4FD334E28FA37.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION: Head shape corresponding closely to that of adult, integument without special tubercles, spines, or setae. Mouthparts with cardo contained in proboscidial fossa, stipes, slightly exserted, and remaining distal elements bending sharply posteriad (fig. 35). Mesosoma shape also corresponding to that of adult; leg segments without spines or tubercles accommodating developing adult setae. Metasomal terga without spines or spicules, but more distal ones each with subapical band of vague protuberances (fig. 35) and metasomal tergum 8 with pronounced median tubercle at posterior margin, presumably corresponding to “ terminal spine ” of Hylaeus (Torchio and Burwell, 1987). Metasomal sterna each with posterior margin produced downward as transverse ridge (fig. 35, arrows).	en	Rozen, Jerome G., Wyman, Eli S.
