Megachile altera Vachal View in CoL
Megachile altera Vachal, 1903: 370 View in CoL –371, male holotype (type depository unknown) Tanzania; Friese 1909: 327, 378; Cockerell 1937: 140. Creightoniella [!] altera (Vachal) View in CoL : Pasteels 1965: 56 –58.
Creightonella altera (Vachal) : Li Enkulu 1988: 139, 160.
Discussion. This species was described from Tanzania ( Vachal 1903) and later recorded from Zimbabwe by Pasteels (1965). The holotype has not been located. Pasteels (1965), who knew the subgenera very well, placed it in Creightonella . However, SAMC has two speciments that belong to Megachile (Eutricharaea) lydenburgiana , from Zimbabwe that were labeled as M. altera . The true identity of this species must await the discovery of the holotype.
