Colletes rufipes Smith, 1879 View in CoL
Colletes rufipes Smith, 1879 View in CoL . Holotype ♀ at BMNH, not examined. Type locality: Brazil, Bahia.
Diagnosis. Colletes rufipes can be confused with C. meridionalis , but can be distinguished from it by the characters listed in the diagnosis for C. meridionalis , above.
♀/♂—Labrum ferruginous, impunctate and without longitudinal sulci; clypeus with mid-longitudinal depression; hypostomal carina ordinary; mid-posterior region of mesoscutum homogeneously and densely punctate, without smooth area; ventral region of mesepisternum, near ventral end of episternal groove, ordinary, lacking a distinctive swollen area delimited by short and dense pilosity; marginal zone of T1 flat.
♀—Malar area 0.9 times as long as interocellar distance; clypeus finely rugose; F1 distinctly longer than its apical width; gena, behind the upper eye margin, concave but not carinate posteriorly; anterolateral angle of pronotum spiniform, at least as long as its basal width; pilosity on mesoscutum ferruginous; pilosity on mesepisternum, ventrally, sparse; fore coxa without spine; inner spur of hind tibia serrate; punctation on T1 inconspicuous.
♂—Malar area 1.45 times as long as interocellar distance; clypeus without rugae; F1 slightly shorter than its apical width; gena, behind the upper eye margin, concave but not carinate posteriorly; anterolateral angle of pronotum spiniform, at least as long as its basal width; pilosity on mesoscutum ferruginous; pilosity on mesepisternum, ventrally, sparse; fore coxa without spine; inner spur of hind tibia serrate; punctation on T1 moderately coarse and homogeneously dense; S7 as illustrated in Figures 6 View FIGURE 6 I, 6J; genitalia as illustrated in Figures 7 View FIGURE 7 I, 7J.
