Jørgensen (1899) intended to questionably transfer Cleve’s species Botryopyle setosa to Lithomelissa . However, the illustrations of Jørgensen show a species that is clearly not synonymous with Cleve’s species, and is in fact a cannobotryid rather than a plagonid. Jørgensen (1905) corrected this mistaken synonymy, indicating that Botryopyle setosa Cleve, 1899 is not the same as Lithomelissa setosa Jørgensen, 1900 . These two species are recognized as separate in subsequent literature, although Botryopyle setosa Cleve was later transferred to Amphimelissa , and designated as the type species of that genus by Petrushevskaya (1971) . This species does not fit the definition of Lithomelissa because it does not have an apical spine that passes freely through the cephalis. Kruglikova (1989) transferred L. setosa to the genus Botryopera , and herein we accept this transfer although it has not yet been widely adopted in the literature. Range. Middle Miocene—Late Pleistocene in the EEP, lower boundary not determined ( Table 1 ).
