 Comments
       
  Comment: Apparently the gender of Melissodes has always been treated as feminine by bee specialists. However, Doug Yanega (in litt., May 2008) has suggested that the gender should be masculine under ICZN Art. 30.1.4.4. This matter needs further consideration  
    Mandatory correction for gender concordance between genus and species
