About this work
Anthodioctes calcaratus. A small bee from La Cruz, Costa Rica. Collected by Tim Mcmahon on one of his several bee trips to that country. I can't scrounge up much about these hole nesters from Central and South America, but likely there are Brazilian papers out on the topic.
Here is a natural history account of a Brazilian species in this genus:
Alves dos Santos I (2004) Nesting biology of Anthodioctes megachiloides Holmberg (Anthidiini, Megachilidae, Apoidea). Revista Brasileira de Zoologia 21:739–744.
