Two beetle parasites of social bees are known to cause colony collapse: small hive beetles, Aethina tumida, in honey bees and Haptoncus luteolus in stingless bees. Here, we report for the first time parasitic beetles, Procoryphaeus violaceus, causing colony collapse in stingless bees, Teteragonula pagdeni.
