Amegilla teneriffensis (Cockerell, 1930) Kratochwil & Paxton & Aguiar & Husemann, 2025

Amegilla teneriffensis versus A. maderae

Amegilla teneriffensis is significantly larger in female body characters than A. maderae for three variables: scutum-scutellum length (SCL; p <0.0001), wing length (WL; p = 0.00063), and body length (BL; p = 0.041). There is only one weakly significant variable that is larger in males of A. teneriffensis : metasoma width (MTW; p = 0.032).

The regression lines between the first shape PC and the isosize axis are clearly separated in the two taxa for both sexes ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 ). The PCA ratio spectrum separating the two species is characterised in females by the ratio of interocular upper distance/interocular lower distance to labrum length/proximal length of the submarginal cell (IDU/IDL: LL/Cu2a), and in males by the ratio of head length/flagellomere 3 length to flagellomere 2 length/ clypeus width (HL/FL3: FL2/CLW).
