ABSTRACT

Although Chamaecrista Moench genus is a very important source of pollen to bees in the Cerrado, this relationship is almost unknown. Within flower visitors of Ch. debilis, we found hymenopterans (Apidae) as the most abundants, but Coleoptera (Buprestidae) and Lepidoptera (Noctuidae) were also collected. Bees of great size are pointed out as effective pollinators of Cassiinae. Only five out of seventeen species of floral visitors of Ch. debilis sampled in cerrado, are indicated as possible pollinators, from which four species were not previously indicated in other papers.
