| description | The study of the morphometric characters allowed to identify the similarities and differences between two populations ofstingless bee Melipona beecheii of the municipality of Cienfuegos. To study the morphometric affinities, 15 to 20 young workers from the breeding chamber were selected and preserved in absolute ethanol at -20°C for subsequent analysis inthe microbiology laboratory of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Cienfuegos. The evaluation of 12 morphological characters, 8 did not present significant differences, except for the width of the head (CA) 5.016 ± 0.014, the length of the head (4.311 ± 0.024) and length of the femur (4.398 ± 0.022) which were slightly greater for samples of themeliponary located in Pepe Rivas compared to the samples of Reina, where only difference was shown in the length of the tibia (4.075 ± 0.028). The degree of cephalic maculation of two populations of bees studied shown a degree of coloration in the middle, range in which yellow markings cover between 10 - 50% of the clypeus and supraclypeal area and extend as thinlines in the malar area around the eyes. The results of the morphological analysis and the degree of cephalic maculationsuggest that the populations of Melipona beecheii of Cienfuegos are similar to those studied in western Cuba and Yucatan. |

El estudio de los caracteres morfométricos permitió identificar las similitudes y diferencias poblacionales de abeja Melipona beecheii en el municipio de Cienfuegos. Para estudiar las afinidades morfométricas se seleccionaron de 10 obreras jóvenesdirectamente de la cámara de cría y se preservaron en etanol absoluto a -20°C para su posterior análisis morfométrico. Laevaluación de 12 caracteres morfológicos, 8 no presentaron diferencias significativas, excepto para el ancho de la cabeza(AC) 5,016 ± 0,014, largo de la cabeza (4,311 ± 0,024) y largo del fémur (4,398 ± 0,022) que fueron ligeramente mayores para muestras del meliponario ubicado en Pepe Rivas en comparación con las muestras de Reina, donde solo se mostró diferencia en el largo de la tibia (4,075 ± 0,028). El grado de maculación cefálica de las poblaciones de abejas estudiadas mostraron un grado de coloración en la media, rango en el cual las marcas amarillas cubren entre el 10 - 50% del clypeus y del área supraclypeal y se extienden como delgadas líneas en el área malar alrededor de los ojos. Los resultados sugierenque las poblaciones de abejas Melipona estudiadas en Cienfuegos son similares a las estudiadas en el occidente de Cuba y Yucatán.
