038D1C70FFAEEC4875A8A26B2CE9F85A.taxon	discussion	Comments and Lectotype designation. Smith (1874) indicated the “ most highly coloured ” specimen as that on which he based his description, but he also considered other specimens as members of this species, resulting, thus, in a syntypic series. Moure (1967), however, listed the specimen 17 b 950 deposited at the British Museum of Natural History (BMNH) as the “ holotype ”, a position followed by all authors since then. Presumably this specimen was illustrated in high-quality photographs in Nemésio (2009 a: 124 – 126). Moure’s (1967) action of listing this particular specimen as the holotype does not qualify as a valid lectotype designation under the Article 74.6 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (hereafter the Code) (ICZN 1999), because it is clear, from Smith’s (1874) statement, that he used several specimens to describe the species. To be valid, a lectotype designation must be individual, explicit and use the word “ lectotype ” or an equivalent expression, and not ambiguous words as “ the type ” (see Articles 74.3 and 74.7.1 of the Code). Also, as shown above, Moure (1967) could not infer a holotype by monotypy because Smith (1874) clearly mentioned other specimens in the type series. In order to provide nomenclatural stability, since it is possible that additional specimens from the syntypic series (possibly found both in the BMNH and the Oxford University Museum collections; D. Notton, pers. comm.) are not conspecific with the species traditionally interpreted as E. ignita (Article 74.7.3 of the Code), we here designate as lectotype the specimen number 17 b 950, deposited in the BMNH and fully illustrated in Nemésio (2009 a: 124 – 126) (see Recommendations 74 A and 74 B of the Code). The type locality (Jamaica), on the other hand, is considered by Roubik (see notes in Nemésio & Rasmussen 2011) as a possible label error, since this species has not been recorded from Jamaica after Smith’s (1874) description. Because the only other orchid bee known to occur on Jamaica is endemic, and Jamaica has had no connection to the mainland since the Miocene or earlier, the existence of E. ignita there requires verification. This species is widely distributed in lowland, humid areas in the Neotropics, from Central America to eastern Brazil and could have been an accidental introduction by trade ships but since extinct from Jamaica.	en	Nemésio, André, Ferrari, Rafael R.

038D1C70FFA8EC4D75A8A0DE2E12FD06.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Euglossa bazinga sp. n. is easily assigned to the subgenus Glossura by presenting the following characters: extended mouthparts longer than body size (almost twice as long as body length), labrum longer than wide, biconvex scutellum and triangular metatibia. This species is similar to E. ignita, from which it can be distinguished from the much smaller size (length ca. 11.0 mm; E. ignita specimens range from 12.5 to 14.0 mm), longer extended mouthparts (almost twice as long as the body length, whereas in E. ignita it is about 1.5 times longer than body length), bluish integumental coloration (Figure 2 A, C, G) (E. ignita is golden green with strong golden hues — even red in some specimens on metasoma and metatibia — Figure 2 B, D, H), area between S 2 tufts plain (Figure 3 A) (it is deeply excavated in E. ignita — Figure 3 B), S 2 tufts circular shaped (Figure 3 A) (semicircular in E. ignita — Figure 3 B) with hairs located inside a short and shallow depression (Figure 3 C, E) (in E. ignita S 2 tufts located inside a long and deep depression — Figure 3 D, F), posterior mesotibial tuft proportionally smaller than anterior tuft than in E. ignita (compare Figures 2 E and 2 F), anterior mesotibial tuft uniformly elliptical or cylindrical (it is more triangular in E. ignita — see Figures 2 E and 2 F); distance between S 7 lobes and base of arms equal to length of three lobes (Fig. 4 A) (equal to length of more than four lobes in E. ignita, forming a constriction — Figure 4 B); posterior section of S 8 triangular, pointed, forming an almost equilaterous triangle (Fig. 4 C) (sharply pointed, forming an almost isosceles triangle in E. ignita — Fig. 4 D), with basolateral points with straight sides, not rounded (Fig. 4 C) (rounded in E. ignita — Fig. 4 D).	en	Nemésio, André, Ferrari, Rafael R.

038D1C70FFA8EC4D75A8A0DE2E12FD06.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet honors the clever, funny, captivating “ nerd ” character Sheldon Cooper, brilliantly portrayed by the North American actor James Joseph “ Jim ” Parsons on the CBS TV show “ The Big Bang Theory ”. Sheldon Cooper’s favorite comic word “ bazinga ”, used by him when tricking somebody, was here chosen to represent the character. Euglossa bazinga sp. n. has tricked us for some time due to its similarity to E. ignita, which eventually led us to use “ bazinga ”. Sheldon Cooper has also an asteroid named after him (246247 Sheldoncooper).	en	Nemésio, André, Ferrari, Rafael R. (2012): Euglossa (Glossura) bazinga sp. n.

038D1C70FFA8EC4D75A8A0DE2E12FD06.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality. Holotype collected at Fazenda Tolosa (13 ° 10 ’ 36 ” S, 57 ° 56 ’ 13 ” W, 443 m), in the municipality of Brasnorte, state of Mato Grosso, western Brazil. Attractive baits. Most specimens collected at methyl salicylate; a few specimens also collected at benzyl acetate and cineole. Geographic Distribution. Euglossa bazinga sp. n. is known to occur in the central (municipality of Diamantino) and north-western (Brasnorte and Juína) portions of the state of Mato Grosso, central to northern Brazil (see Figure 1). However, since this species is similar to the widely distributed E. ignita, it is possible that specimens from the neighbor state of Rondônia and also from northeastern Bolivia labeled as E. ignita in entomological collections may belong to Euglossa bazinga sp. n.	en	Nemésio, André, Ferrari, Rafael R.
