Tetragonula ruficornis View in CoL (Smith in Horne & Smith, 1870)
Trigona ruficornis Horne & Smith 1870: 185 View in CoL , 194: Holotype (BMNH 17b.1187, worker): examined, " India View in CoL " (reverse "69 / 86"), "Type" (red border), " Trigona View in CoL / ruficornis / (Type) Smith", "B.M. TYPE / HYM. / 17b.1187") (common name (bhônga), honey, nest, taxonomy); Type locality: INDIA View in CoL "Mainpurí, Northwest Provinces of India View in CoL " (worker); Dalla Torre 1896: 583 (citation); Waterhouse 1903: 135-136 (nest (misidentification; probably fuscobalteata View in CoL )); Schwarz 1939a: 88, 107 (synonymy); Schwarz 1948: 14, 23, 56, 165; Nogueira-Neto 1949: 121 (bee-keeping); Krombein 1950: 133 (synonymy); Nogueira-Neto 1951: (distribution); INDIA View in CoL , Uttar Pradesh; Moure 1961: 208 (synonymy); Sakagami 1978: 216 (synonymy); Wu 2000: 392 (synonymy).
Melipona smithii Bingham 1897: 560 View in CoL , 563: Unnecessary replacement name for Trigona ruficornis Smith View in CoL , nec Lamarck. Lamarck 1817 (and repeated in 1835) only listed Melipona favosa View in CoL , M. amalthea View in CoL , M. ruficrus View in CoL , M. postica , and M. pallida . The replacement name therefore remains enigmatic, unless mistaken for M. ruficrus Latreille. BMNH View in CoL has a labeled type for this replacement name (17b.1129) (distribution, key to species, taxonomy); INDIA, Mainpuri, NW View in CoL provinces; MYANMAR, Tenasserim; Bingham 1905: 59 (citation, distribution); Schwarz 1939a: 88, 107, 108 (synonymy); Schwarz 1948: 14, 23, 56; Nogueira-
Neto 1949: 121 (synonymy); Krombein 1950: 133 (synonymy); Moure 1961: 208 (synonymy); Jain & Kushwaha 1972: (morphometrics); Wille & Michener 1973: 14, 25, 49, 60 (nest); Sakagami 1978: 216 (synonymy); Starr & Sakagami 1987: 97 (citation); Nogueira-Neto 1954: 426 (citation); Wu 2000: 392 (synonymy).
