Type data: lectotype MNHP <F> worker (According to Schwarz (1948: 236) and personal notes by Moure (17.IV.1958) the type material of Lepeletier is composed including one second specimen, the paralectotype, which is <I>Geotrigona subterranea</I> (Friese) [see Camargo & Moure, 1996: 159]. By inference, the designation of the lectotype of <I>Trigona hyalinata</I> can be attributed to Schwarz (1948: 236-237). Moure, in 1958, <I>in litt</I>., when examining the Lepeletier's collection, added to the same specimen a type label) , paralectotype MNHP <F> worker (1).
