The real taxonomic identity of Trigona latitarsis Friese, 1900, with notes on type specimens (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

Abstract

The taxonomic history of Trigona latitarsis Friese, 1900 and its clarification based on the observation of the types and literature data are treated in this study. The paper discusses the validity of the previously proposed lectotype, deposited in the ZMB (Berlin, Germany). Based on the type series deposited in HNHM (Budapest, Hungary) as well as the original description, a new lectotype and 15 paralectotypes from Amazon forest (São Paulo de Olivença, Amazonas) are designated. Data on the geographic distribution of Scaura latitarsis (Friese, 1900) are provided.

INSECTOS VISITANTES FLORALES EN Bactris gasipaes Kunth (ARECACEAE) EN PANAMÁ

“…Para la identificación de los especímenes se utilizó un estereomicroscopio Leica® M125 (con magnificación de 8 x -100 x), con cámara Leica® MC 170 HD e iluminación LED 5000 SLI, mientras que el procesamiento de las fotografías se realizó con el software Leica® Application Suite (LAS) Versión 4.12.0 2017. La identificación del material entomológico se realizó utilizando las claves taxonómicas a nivel de orden y familia de Johnson y Triplehorn (2004); además fueron utilizadas claves de género y especie para los órdenes Coleoptera (Herman y Smetana, 2001;Ratcliffe, 2008;Gasca-Álvarez y Amat-García, 2010;Gasca-Álvarez, 2014;Zhao et al, 2014;Harán et al, 2020), Hymenoptera (Nogueira et al, 2017;Wille, 2017) y Diptera (O'Grady et al, 2003;Yuzuki y Tidon, 2020).…”

Geometric morphometrics of wing venation to differentiates new species of Scaura Schwarz populations (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini)

“…Scaura has four recognized species, with three recorded in Brazil [S. longula (Lepeletier, 1836), S. latitarsis (Friese, 1900) and S. atlantica Melo, 2004] while the distribution of the genus is broadly Neotropical, from Mexico to southern Brazil. Recently Nogueira et al (2017) [19] synonymized S. tenuis (Ducke, 1916) under S. latitarsis (Friese, 1900), leaving a new species to be described ( Figure 1). Their nests are built in wood cavities or active arboreal termites, which afford thermal stability and some defense, and because they are dependent on nesting in termites, it has not yet been possible to create rationally for the use of their products by man [20,21,22,23].…”
