Rasmussen, Claus, 2013, Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) of the Indian subcontinent: Diversity, taxonomy and current status of knowledge, Zootaxa 3647 (3), pp. 401-428 : 416

Tetragonula species of the “ laeviceps ” species group

Members of this species group usually have a mesoscutum almost as evenly banded with hair as the “ iridipennis ” group, but these species are larger, with forewing length, including tegula, measuring between 4.2 and 4.8 mm. Sakagami (1978) referred to this species group as the taxonomically most difficult group within Tetragonula . A single species has been reported in India.
