Abstract

This catalog contains an updated list of the species of the genus Bombus registered for Guatemala. Taxonomic data are presented for a total of 13 species, including synonyms and their geographical distribution, with emphasis in Guatemala. This work is the basis for the subsequent revision of the genus Bombus in Guatemala.
