Leurotrigona pusilla
Moure, J. S., J. M. F. Camargo & M. V. B. Garcia (1988). Uma nova espécie de Leurotrigona (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponinae). Bol. Mus. Para. Emílio Goeldi, sér. Zool. 4 (2): 145-154 [146] (due to an editorial lapsus the description is headed with the name muelleri, but the intended new name, pusilla, appears in the abstract, figure captions, and text, and is thus validated) .
