Type data: lectotype HNHM 803/2 <F> worker (Friese mentioned 10 workers from Bolivia, Colombia and Brazil. Only three specimens from type series, deposited in Hungarian Museum, were examined by Claus Rasmussen. This series is composed, the specimen from "Brasilia/S. Paulo", "631/157" corresponds to <I>Trigona cilipes</I> (Fabricius).) , paralectotype HNHM 803/2 <F> worker (1) , paralectotype whereabouts unknown <F> workers (7).

Catalogue of Bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) in the Neotropical Region. Curitiba: Sociedade Brasileira de Entomologia xiv + 1058 pp. [551] (lectotype designated by Claus Rasmussen, 29.III.2006, in litt.) .
Type locality: "Brasilia" [=Brazil].
Remarks
Trigona lacteipennis Friese differs from T. cilipes Friese by the abundant mesoscutal setae, longer than the diameter of the scape, and the tip of the forewings hyaline, and build nests in ant and wasp nests. See Remarks in Trigona cilipes (Fabricius).
