[ Hylaeus varians Cockerell is a secondary junior homonym of Prosopis varians Spinola, 1806 , which was synonymised with Hylaeus annularis (Kirby) . According to Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature the junior homonym must receive a new name if there are no other available names. The name multifarius was chosen because it has the same meaning as varians , and therefore conveys the same meaning as the original name. A.search of the recently compiled world Bee Checklist on Species 2000, confirmed multifarius is not a junior homonym.]
