Scaptotrigona nigrohirta Nogueira & Santos-Silva

Scaptotrigona nigrohirta Nogueira & Santos-Silva in Nogueira et al., 2022: 2.

DIAGNOSIS: A full and excellent description of this Amazonian species was recently provided by Nogueira et al. (2022), and so I have foregone an account or figures of the species, except to note that it is generally similar to the previous two species as well as S. macarenensis and S. yungasensis . It is distinguished from those species in the various accounts of each (vide supra).
