 Comments
       
  Comment: Smith (page 1048, 1845) synonymized "Melecta alecto, Newman" with Melecta punctata [Latreille, 1802] along with "Var. 1. Melecta megæra, Newman" and "Var. 2. Melecta tisiphone, Newman"  
    Newman (page 512, 1835) states: "...I am going to make six different species out of Melecta punctata [Latreille, 1802]..."
