FIGURE 15 in Australian and New Guinean Stingless Bees of the Genus Austroplebeia Moure (Hymenoptera: Apidae) — a revision

FIGURE 15. Worker sting rudiments metric data: ratio of maximum length of sting lancet (A) and shoulder width of gonostyli (B) in all Austroplebeia taxa. Data points are averages for 1–3 workers per nest or flower sample. 1. The geographically isolated colony, F31, from the northern tip of Cape York Peninsula, QLD, which has colouring and HTW/HBW similar to A. australis– Eastern Colour Morph. 2. Colonies C58 and D55 from the 'intermediate' group of Halcroft et al. (2015) which are consistent with A. australis–Eastern Colour Morph in this analysis. 3. CS-8 workers, with Grade 4 Thorax Colour Markings, collected from flowers in the MacDonnell Ranges, NT. They are consistent with A. australis–Central Colour Morph in this analysis, despite their relatively dark colouration. 4. GS-10 workers collected from flowers on the far western edge of the A. cassiae range. 5. NS-7 workers collected from flowers on the far eastern edge of the A. magna sp. nov. range. Names given in brackets in the legend are groups in our Halcroft et al. (2015) preliminary analysis.
