TY - JOUR A1 - Dubitzky, Andreas A1 - Yang, Jeng-Tze A1 - Schönitzer, Klaus T1 - Historical and recent investigations on the bee fauna of Taiwan (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) T2 - Mitteilungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Allgemeine und Angewandte Entomologie N2 - The bee fauna of Taiwan was studied intensively in the first half of last century and was based in large parts on the extensive material collected by Hans Sauter between 1902 and 1914. Subsequent studies on bees of Taiwan have only been sporadic. Within a cooperation between the above mentioned institutions the bee fauna was reinvestigated. It was shown how insufficiently the bee fauna of Taiwan had been investigated so far, in particular, the higher mountain regions. Now about 150 species of bees, belonging to 32 different genera, are known from Taiwan, ten of which have been described or recognized as new for science by the recent cooperation.
