Cockerell, T. D. A. (1919). Bees in the collection of the United States Museum. - 3. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 55: 167-221 [205] (junior subjective synonym; we consider the name atratula applicable to the specimen(s?) from Jundiahy, São Paulo, Brasil; specimens from Blumenau, Santa Catarina are probably Melipona obscurior Moure. Cockerell attributed the name atratula to Friese, but the diagnosis is clearly Cockerell's) .
