 Comments
       
  Comment: Richards noted in 1935: "A so-called type of Apis centuncularis Linnaeus, 1758 ...is a female of Megachile ligniseca (Kirby, 1802)...Kirby *1802, p. 240) already noticed that the "type" was probably not the specimen Linnaeus described." Richards, O. W. 1935 (June). Notes on the Nomenclature of the Aculeate Hymenoptera, with Special Reference to British Genera and Species. The Transactions of the Entomological Society of London, vol. 83, no. 1:143-176
