Notes

Baker (1993: 209) wrote the following:

“A ♀ in the UMO type collection, labelled ‘Mak.’ [blue disc] and ‘ Ceratina pictifrons . Smith’ [blue paper, Smith] is the HOLOTYPE of this species and it has now been labelled accordingly. The type is intact and in good condition”.

The specimen indicated by Baker was not labelled as the holotype; this has now been rectified. Van der Vecht (1952: 37) gave the publication year as 1861.
