Megachile edentata Friese. View in CoL

Megachile edentata Friese, 1925: 507 View in CoL , female holotype (type depository unknown) Zimbabwe; Cockerell 1937: 166, 212; Pasteels 1965: 557.

Discussion. The type material of this species has not been studied. In agreement with Pasteels (1965), because the original description is not suitable for its identification, the name must remain in abeyance.
