Nomada insularis Smith, 1863: 47 View in CoL , ♀.

Type material examined

Lectotype

INDONESIA • ♀; Cer. [Ceram]; [either 31 Oct.–28. Dec. 1859 or 26 Feb.–17 Jun. 1860]; OUMNH, ENT-HYME2834 ( lectotype designated by Schwarz & Gusenleitner 2004).

Type locality

Ceram [= Seram].

Notes

Baker (1993: 231) identified this specimen as the holotype and stated that he labelled it, but we found no type label. Schwarz & Gusenleitner (2004: 1418) published the specimen as a lectotype (giving the year of publication as 1864) and we see no reason to relabel the specimen as the holotype (cf. ICZN recommendation 73F).

Current status

Nomada ( Mininomada) insularis Smith, 1863 . Part of the furva group considered by Alexander & Schwarz (1994) which is now described as subgenus Mininomada Straka, 2024 ( Straka et al. 2024). Lasioglossum ( Halictidae ) are the likely hosts due to the small body size and complete absence of species of Andrena Fabricius, 1775 ( Andrenidae ) in the Southeast Asian islands ( Straka et al. 2024).

Distribution

Indonesia ( Maluku: Seram) (Smith 1863; Ascher & Pickering 2024).
