AB  - Symbiotic interactions with bacteria are essential for the survival and 
      reproduction of many insects. The European beewolf (Philanthus triangulum, 
      Hymenoptera, Crabronidae) engages in a highly specific association with bacteria 
      of the genus Streptomyces that appears to protect beewolf offspring against 
      infection by pathogens. Using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, the 
      bacteria were located in the antennal glands of female wasps, where they form 
      dense cell clusters. Using genetic methods, closely related streptomycetes were 
      found in the antennae of 27 Philanthus species (including two subspecies of P. 
      triangulum from distant localities). In contrast, no endosymbionts could be 
      detected in the antennae of other genera within the subfamily Philanthinae 
      (Aphilanthops, Clypeadon and Cerceris). On the basis of morphological, genetic 
      and ecological data, 'Candidatus Streptomyces philanthi' is proposed. 16S rRNA 
      gene sequence data are provided for 28 ecotypes of 'Candidatus Streptomyces 
      philanthi' that reside in different host species and subspecies of the genus 
      Philanthus. Primers for the selective amplification of 'Candidatus Streptomyces 
      philanthi' and an oligonucleotide probe for specific detection by fluorescence in 
      situ hybridization (FISH) are described.
