72. Prosopis apicata Smith, 1863

Fig. 71

Prosopis apicata Smith, 1863: 44, ♀.

Type material examined

Holotype

INDONESIA • ♀; M. [Mysol]; [probably 24 Feb.–1 Jul. 1860]; OUMNH, ENT-HYME2826.

Type locality

Mysol [= Misool].

Notes

Baker (1993: 229) identified this specimen as the holotype and stated that he labelled it, but we found no type label; this has now been rectified. Wallace did not collect on Misool (Wallace 1869), and this material was collected by his assistant Charles Allen. Baker (1993: 174) estimated that this would have occurred between 24 Feb. 1860 when Wallace and Allen separated, and 1 Jul. 1860 when Allen arrived at Wahai on the island of Ceram.

Current status

Palaeorhiza (Callorhiza) apicata (Smith, 1863) (Hirashima 1989) .

Distribution

Indonesia (Southwest Papua: Misool) (Smith 1863; Michener 1965; Hirashima 1989; Ascher & Pickering 2024).
