Scaura latitarsis (Friese, 1900)
Common Names: "pegoncito", "sharabata", "txashkû-mexupa"
Trigona latitarsis
Friese, H. (1900). Neue arten der Bienengattungen Melipona Ill. Und Trigona Jur. Természetr. Füz. 23: 381-394 [388] .
Type data: lectotype ZMB <F> worker , paralectotype HNHM <F> workers, <M> males (Friese mentioned 3 workers and 3 males from São Paulo and Surinam and many males from São Paulo in Budapest - HNHM. The paralectotypes in the HNHM belong to<I> Scaura tenuis </I>(see Nogueira et al. 2017)).
Subsequent designation: Melo, G. A. R. & Costa, M. A. (2004). A new stingless bee species of the genus Scaura (Hymenoptera, Apidae) from the Brazilian Atlantic forest, with notes on S. latitarsis (Friese). Zootaxa 544: 1-10 [4] .
Type locality: Brasil, São Paulo, Jundiahy, 1899, Schrottky leg..
Scaura aspera
Nogueira, D.S., Santos-Júnior, J.E., Oliveira, F.F. & Oliveira, M.L. (2019). Review of Scaura Schwarz, 1938 (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini). Zootaxa 4712 (4): 451-496 [484] (It is not possible to know from the original publication to which of the authors appearing under the name “Oliveira” the authorship of the taxon should be attributed) .
Type data: holotype INPA <F> worker (The depository of the holotype is not provided in the original publication. See Almeida et al. (2020: 83)).
Type locality: "PR. LONDRINA, 17/05/2013, CUNHA, L.C. Leg.".
Remarks
This species is being interpreted here in the sense established by Melo & Costa (2004), who restricted the application of the name latitarsis to the population found along the Parana river in southeastern Brazil. The new meaning established by Nogueira et al. (2017), based on a new lectotype designation, is not followed here and is treated as invalid. A full treatment of the entire taxonomic situation should be dealt with in a separate publication.
Distribution
