 Comments
       
  Comment: Megachile punctatissima Kirby, 1900 (now as Megachile wfkirbyi Kohl, 1906) is a junior primary homonym of Megachile punctatissima (Kirby, 1802) (TSN 762499), a subsequent combination and misspelling by Latreille (1805) of Apis punctulatissima Kirby, 1802 (and now as Stelis punctulatissima (Kirby, 1802) (TSN 756152)). Megachile grantiana Cockerell, 1907 was the replacement name
