Cresson never published such a name. Wolcott’s (1936) description of A. krugii, however brief, is sufficient to validate the name and so it must be attributed to Wolcott (1936) . The A. krugii specimens examined by Wolcott were likely never labeled as primary types; no specialist has succeeded in locating such labeled types, including Juan A. Torres (personal communication, ca. 1997). For that reason all specimens available to Wolcott (1936) have the status of syntypes.</p><p>To maintain nomenclatural stability, we here designate a lectotype from the syntypes for A. krugii, located at MEBT-MC, with the following label data: “Pt. [Punta] Cangrejos, P.R., June 10, 1920 / G.N. Wolcott, collector”. To this specimen a red label was added reading: “ Agapostemon krugii Wolcott, 1936, Lectotype, male, Genaro &amp; Franz, 2008”. We furthermore designate the following paralectotypes: (1) “1-28/ Pt. Cangrejos, P.R., June 28, 1920 / G.N. Wolcott, Collector/ Agapostemon viequesensis Ckll., det. Snelling ‘98”; and (2) “ Isabela, P.R., May 22-31, Acc # 146-31/ col: Wolcott ”. To each of these two specimens a yellow label was added reading: “ Agapostemon krugii Wolcott, 1936, Paralectotype, male, Genaro &amp; Franz, 2008”.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F75187E14F28FFFDF0CAFB4EFE176F1F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Moure (1960a) reviewed the types of these species and clarified the taxonomic status of each. Ashmead (1900) and Moure at al. (2007) recorded Megachile poeyi Guérin-Méneville from Puerto Rico. We have seen no corresponding specimens in the material available to us. It is likely that Ashmead’s specimens pertain to the very similar M. holosericea . Megachile singularis Cresson (1865) is another misidentification from Puerto Rico by Ashmead (1900; see also above). Cresson (1865) described this species based on males from Cuba.

Krombein (located in MEBT-MC and UPRM), these are actually M. concinna . Wolcott (1936) apparently misunderstood the name Megachile singularis Cresson mentioned in Ashmead (1900) interpreting it to be Megachile insularis Cresson. Since then, the erroneous name has remained in use; e.g. Krombein (personal communication, 1997) merely copied the name M. insularis as listed in Wolcott’s (1948) Insects of Puerto Rico. A different and valid species described as M. insularis F. Smith, 1859 is from Aru, one of the southern Indonesian islands. This latter species was described by F. Smith in 1859.

Snelling, personal communication 1997) that “ M. nigroaenea seems to be limited to South America”. It would be useful to learn why these authors amended their earlier perspective. LaBerge and Moure (1962) offered descriptive notes on the lectotype and paratype females of M. nigroaenea . Therein they mentioned some differences in hair coloration between that species and M. trifasciata . The authors offered little information on surface sculpturing which tends to be more reliable characters for species recognition.

The usage of names for Antillean species is therefore compromised. Snelling and Brooks (1985) reviewed the genera of cleptoparasitic bees in the tribe Ericrocidini (misspelled as Ericrocini by these authors: refer to Engel 2005), including the genus Mesoplia, however that work did not extend to the species level. Moure (1960b) studied the holotype of M. rufipes, commenting on issues of synonymy, and established three species groups within the genus. He placed M. rufipes and M. azurea (Lepeletier and Serville, 1828) in the same group. Several authors have treated M. rufipes and M. azurea as synonyms without providing additional comments (i.e.; Cresson 1865; Gundlach 1886; Dalla Torre 1896; Friese 1902; Ducke 1912). According to G. Melo (personal communication, 2007), M. rufipes is restricted to the continental mainland; a revision of the species is in preparation and will clarify the proper names and distributions of the Antillean species, not clarified in Moure et al.
