Current status

Xylocopa (Cyaneoderes) tumida Friese, 1903 (see Section 14a).

Distribution

Malaysia (?Peninsula, Borneo), Singapore, Indonesia (Sumatra, Nias, Bangka Belitung, Kalimantan) (Friese 1903; Enderlein 1909; Meade-Waldo 1914, 1916; Maa 1939 partim; Mawdsley 2016 partim as X. tumida, X. abbotti, and X. insularis sensu auctorum; Ascher et al. 2022 as X. insularis sensu auctorum; present study). Given its presence in Singapore, X. tumida is expected to be present in the southern part of peninsula Malaysia, but this should be confirmed with specimens.
