49. Nomia concinna Smith, 1860

Fig. 49

Nomia concinna Smith, 1860a: 91, ♀ ♂.

Type material examined

Lectotype

INDONESIA • ♂; Mak. [ Makassar, Sulawesi]; [11 Jul.–19 Nov. 1857]; OUMNH, ENT-HYME2807-01 (lectotype indicated by Baker 1993, de facto lectotype designated by Pauly 2009) .

Type locality

Makassar [south-west Sulawesi].

Notes

Baker (1993: 209) wrote the following:

“ Three specimens standing as concinna in the UMO type collection comprise:-

a) ♂ labelled ‘Mak’ [white disc] and ‘ Nomia concinna ♀ [sic] Smith’ [blue paper]: this is a ♂ Curvinomia,

b) ♂ labelled ‘Mak’ and ‘ Nomia concinna ♂ Smith’ [blue paper]: this is a ♂ Lipotriches .

c) ♀ labelled ‘Cer’ [white disc] and ‘ Nomia concinna Smith’ [blue paper]: this is a ♀ Curvinomia .

The Ceram ♀ is excluded by its locality and date (Wallace’s first visit to Ceram was in late 1859) and has been labelled as of no type status; its actual identity is irrelevant to present purposes, but it appears not to be conspecific with the Makassar ♂ Curvinomia . The latter specimen, i.e., Smith’s supposed ♀ and the principal basis of his description, is now designated as LECTOTYPE of concinna . The species has been taken recently, but not commonly, by Project Wallace members in N.E. Celebes [NHM; RNH, Leiden]. The identity of the Lipotriches ♂ syntype will be dealt with elsewhere”.

Pauly (2009: 162) noted Baker’s lectotype, and therefore acted as the first publisher of this designation.

Current status

Maculonomia concinna (Smith, 1860) (Pauly 2009) .
