Holotype

INDONESIA • ♀; Mak. [ Makassar, Sulawesi]; [2 Sep.–18 Dec. 1856]; OUMNH, ENT-HYME2790.

Type locality

Celebes [= Sulawesi].

Notes

Baker (1993: 200–201) wrote the following:

“Two apparently conspecific ♀♀ in the UMO type collection were labelled (a) ‘Mak’ [white disc], (b) ‘Bac’ [Bachian; white disc], ‘ Nomia halictoides Smith’ [white paper], and ‘ Nov. 1929. sent to P. Bluthgen’. The Makasar ♀ has now been labelled as HOLOTYPE of halictoides, the Bachian ♀, obviously the source of Smith’s 1860 record, as of no type status”.
