FIGURES 3–10 in Heinrich Friese (1860-1948): Names proposed and notes on a pioneer melittologist (Hymenoptera, Anthophila)

FIGURES 3–10. Examples of labels used by Friese. 3. Centris versicolor rufiventris. Syntype (ZMHB). Red Type label suggest a type; locality and specimen correspond to original description. 4. Epicharis rustica var. flava. Syntype (subsequently designated lectotype) (ZMHB). No type label from Friese, but locality, collection date, and specimen correspond with the original publication. Determination label indicates that this is a new taxon described by Friese (variously handwritten "n.var.", "n.sp.", or just "n" on other specimens). 5. Trigona keyensis. Probable syntype (AMNH). No type label on this specimen, but locality, collection date, and specimen correspond with the original publication. Determination label only indicates that Friese is the author and determiner of the species, but not that this is a new taxon. 6. Trigona flaviventris. Not a type (AMNH). Orange "Typus" label suggest a type, but specimen collected after the description of the species. 7. Megacilissa tomentosa. Syntype (ZMHB). Early orange Type label. 8. Callosphecodes ralunensis. Holotype (ZMHB). Alternative red framed Type label. Additional label indicate that this specimen was part of Friese's personal collection. 9. Trigona mellipes. Probable syntype (ZMHB). No type label on this specimen, but locality, collection date, and specimen corresponds with the original publication. Determination label only indicates that Friese is the author and determiner of the species, but not that this is a new taxon. Additional label indicate that this specimen was part of Friese's personal collection and is now deposited in ZMHB. 10. Trigona handlirschi. Probable holotype (ZMHB). Orange Typus label. T. handlirschi was described based on a single worker from "Brasilia" (here =Amazonas, Brasil, 1897), but determination label is from 909 (=1909). As this was the only specimen of this taxa encountered and because it is from the type locality and was colleted before the publication of the species, it is presumed the holotype, although the determination label does not provide evidence for this. We have seen other cases were putative types were labeled with determination labels dating after the publication of the taxa, and it is not unlikely that Friese would add these labels at later date.
