| description | This study was aimed to identify stingless bees commonly used in meliponiculture in Ciamis
Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia based on morphological, morphometric, and
molecular characters. Six species from three genera, namely Tetragonula, Heterotrigona, and
Lepidotrigona, were obtained. There were Tetragonula laeviceps with morphological
characteristics of a shiny black body and a body length of 3.42±0.02 mm (mean±SD); T.
sarawakensis with morphological characteristics of a predominantly black body and a body
length of 4.63±0.01 mm (mean±SD); T. cf. biroi with morphological characteristics of a body
dominated by black and a body length of 3.94±0.02 mm (mean±SD); T. drescheri with
morphological characteristics of a body dominated by a brownish-black color and body length
of 4.64±0.01 mm (mean±SD); Heterotrigona itama with morphological characteristics of a
dark black dominant body color and a body length of 4.84±0.02 mm (mean±SD); and
Lepidotrigona terminata with morphological characteristics of a black dominant body color
and body length of 4.63±0.01 mm (mean±SD). The sequences of stingless bees from Ciamis
Regency, West Java Province have similarities (89-97%) with those of similar species of
stingless bee in the GenBank database. The results of this study provide preliminary data
contributing to the conservation and management as one the Indonesia's important biodiversity
resources. |
