Resumo: | Neotropical swarm-founding wasps present polygynic colonies and a great variation in relation to caste differentiation, ranging from species in which queens and workers are similar in shape and size to those where variation in shape and size is conspicuous. Canonical discriminant analysis and Bonferroni t-test analysis on morphometric data collected from eight body parts of specimens from nine colonies of Angiopolybia pallens (Lepeletier) were undertaken as a step towards to a better understanding on caste differenciation in Epiponini. All specimens were dissected to verify the ovary developmental stage, and the spermatheca was removed to check for the mating status. Females were then grouped as queens (mated with developed ovaries), intermediates (virgin with developed ovaries) and workers (virgin with undeveloped ovaries). Even though differences were found for some measurements in seven out of the nine colonies evaluated, multivariate analysis (Wilks' lambda values) indicated castes could not be reliably distinguished only by morphology. We conclude that morphological differences among A. pallens castes are low or absent, reflecting a possible groundplan for the Epiponini, i.e. a post-imaginal pattern of caste differentiation. |

Estudos morfométricos utilizando oito medidas corporais em nove colônias de Angiopolybia pallens (Lepeletier) foram realizados a fim de aumentar o conhecimento sobre diferenciação de castas em Epiponini, empregando-se análise canônica discriminante e teste t de Bonferroni. Os indivíduos foram dissecados para determinar o nível de desenvolvimento ovariano e as espermatecas foram removidas para verificar a ocorrência de inseminação e assim definir os três grupos de fêmeas: rainhas (ovários desenvolvidos e espermateca fecundada), intermediárias (ovários desenvolvidos e espermateca não-fecundada) e operárias (ovários não-desenvolvidos). Apesar de serem encontradas diferenças significativas para algumas medidas em sete das nove colônias, a análise multivariada (lambda de Wilks) mostrou que as castas são de difícil distinção apenas pela morfologia. É possível concluir que diferenças morfológicas entre castas de A. pallens são pequenas ou ausentes, o que reflete o plano basal para os Epiponini, i.e. padrão pós-imaginal de diferenciação castas.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA)Depto.
