Electrapis sp. indet.

MATERIAL: One specimen. Non­type. Female, worker caste, 3001 ( GPUH) labeled: ‘‘ Electrapis sp. indet., det. M. S. Engel, 1999’’.

COMMENTS: This individual is preserved with its dorsum at the amber surface and its mesosoma and metasoma opened. The internal sclerites are preserved and can be examined with some ease. The generic identification of the specimen is still possible owing to the relatively good preservation of the ventral half of the bee and it can be assigned to Electrapis with confidence. Specific identification, however, is not possible. It is from this individual that the above definition of the prosternal shape in Electrapis was made.
