Notes

Baker (1993: 230) wrote the following:

“A ♂ in the UMO type collection, labelled ‘M’ [Mysol] and ‘ Nomia florea Smith’ [Smith], is the HOLOTYPE of this species and it has now been labelled accordingly. A second ♂, probably not conspecific, in the same collection, labelled ‘S’ [probably Salwatty] and ‘ Nomia florea Sm. ’ [blue paper; Smith], has been labelled as of no type status”.

As for R. bidentata, revisionary study of the genus Reepenia Friese, 1909 is required (Pauly 2024a). For collecting date, see discussion in Section 72.

Reepenia florea (Smith, 1863) .
