Remarks
The identity of Oxytrigona flaveola (Friese) remains obscure; the type-series (from Colombia, Guatemala, Brazil - Espírito Santo) is certainly composed including at least three different species. Oxytrigona flaveola (Friese), as interpreted by Schwarz, 1948: 479, based on specimens from Mapiri, Bolivia (metatypes identified by Friese), can be a distinct species. So, the references listed here include different species.
Distribution
Neotropical Region: Brazil (Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso [Tangará Da Serra]), Colombia, Guatemala
