Melipona (Melipona) quadrifasciata Lepeletier, 1836
Common Names: "mandaçaia", "tumbihkihrasá", "mandasái", "mandassaia", "manassaia", "amanassaia"
Remarks
Melipona quadrifasciata Lepeletier is here considered as polytypic with two subspecies: M. quadrifasciata quadrifasciata and M. quadrifasciata anthidioides Lepeletier, however the differentiation in the pattern of abdominal bands can be related with recent factors, such as climate / altitude, as recorded by Kerr (1951) and Moure (1975: 616, 617). All references were addressed to the species, considering that many citations are refered just as Melipona quadrifasciata and there is no indication of the geographical origin.
