Also, specimen DR­14­1173 is too deformed and discolored. The yellow maculations in the lower parocular areas, clypeus, and supraclypeal area are clearly visible (fig. 2) in all specimens exactly as described and illustrated by Wille and Chandler.

Based on specimen DR­14­1178, and details of genitalia and pregenital sterna of DR­14­954. Amber piece DR­14­1178 was cut in right angles that allowed examination in several positions. There are some bubbles, fractures, and fis­ sures, but the bee is well preserved (figs. 1, 5), practically without deformation, which permitted virtually exact measurements to be made. The bubbles over the spiracles (fig. 5) indicate that the bee was quickly immersed by the resin.

Head wider than long (1.31: 1.00, length measured from apex of clypeus to upper tangent of median ocellus), approximately as wide as mesosoma (1.28, measured across mesepisterna) and wider than T2 (0.98). Eyes 2.1× longer than wide (0.84: 0.40) and convergent below; upper interorbital distance 0.75, maximum distance 0.78, and lower distance 0.50. Malar area linear. Clypeus 1.4× wider than long (0.48: 0.34), slightly convex; epistomal suture almost straight on sides (fig. 1). Labrum normal, slightly convex. Clypeocellar distance 0.64. Interalveolar distance nearly equal to diameter of antennal alveolus and slightly larger than alveolorbital distance (0.13: 0.14: 0.10). Frons slightly depressed along median line. Distance between lateral ocelli ca. 2.4× diameter of median ocellus and 3.1× ocellorbital distance (0.34: 0.14: 0.11). Vertex behind ocelli rounded; preoccipital ridge slightly rounded.

Scutellum in dorsal view an equilateral arch with rounded apex, 1.8× wider than long (0.50: 0.28) (it is possible that the scutellum is a little deformed because of dehydration in the amber). Forewing 2.9× longer than wide (2.75: 0.96); pterostigma 3.6× longer than wide (0.44: 0.12); marginal cell long and narrow (0.91: 0.20), its apex open; angle between Rs and Rs + M slightly acute (approximately 85°); first abscissa of M ca.

Second submarginal cell completely absent. Hamuli, 5–6. Tibia III subtriangular, 3.1× longer than wide (0.92: 0.30) slightly biconvex, posterodistal corner rounded. Basitarsus III 4.3× longer than wide (0.52: 0.12), flattened, lateral margins subparallel, distal edge in right angle. Details of the genitalia and pregenital sterna as in figures 6, 7. S5 unmodified, except for slightly concave distal border (with a transverse row of hairs); S6 with long, wide median projection [= apical process (Michener, 1990)], enlarged and bifid apically (figs. 6, 7); visible portion of S7 strongly sclerotized. Genitalia of specimen DR­14­954 is in triggered conformation, with penis valves directed laterally (as occurs during copulation in extant Meliponini), making study of certain structures difficult; gonocoxites not entirely visible nor is an unequivocal spatha. Penis valves very long (0.67 long per 0.11 wide at base), rather arched and pointed apically; gonostylus long and slender, exposed portion 0.61 long, 0.02 wide at its slightly broadened apex (figs. 6, 7).
