"The present paper, which is intended to shed light on the phylogeny and systematics of the bees belonging to the subfamily Panurginae, treats the biology and immature stages of three genera found in Morocco: Panurgus, Panurginus, and Melitturga. (1) Observations on the environment of the nesting site, flower relationships, nest structure, provisioning, oviposition, development, adult activity, and parasitism by cuckoo bees are presented; comparisons are made with panurgines from other parts of the world. (2) The mature larvae of the three genera are described and contrasted with those of other panurgines. (3) Pupae of panurgus and panurginus are described. (4) Appended is a description of a new species, Panurgus intermedius"--P. 36.
