INDONESIA • ♂; M. [Mysol]; [probably 24 Feb.–1 Jul. 1860]; OUMNH, ENT-HYME2830 .

Mysol [= Misool].

Notes

Baker (1993: 230) wrote the following:

“A ♂ in the UMO type collection, labelled ‘M’ [Mysol] and ‘ Nomia florea Smith’ [Smith], is the HOLOTYPE of this species and it has now been labelled accordingly. A second ♂, probably not conspecific, in the same collection, labelled ‘S’ [probably Salwatty] and ‘ Nomia florea Sm. ’ [blue paper; Smith], has been labelled as of no type status”.

As for R. bidentata , revisionary study of the genus Reepenia Friese, 1909 is required ( Pauly 2024a). For collecting date, see discussion in Section 72.

Current status

Reepenia florea (Smith, 1863) .

Distribution

Indonesia (South Papua: Misool) (Smith 1863; Michener 1965; Ascher & Pickering 2024).
