85. Megachile nidulator Smith, 1865 Fig. 84 Megachile nidulator Smith, 1865: 92, ♀. Type material examined Holotype INDONESIA • ♀; N. [New Guinea]; [1861]; OUMNH, ENT-HYME2839. Type locality New Guinea. Allen visited the area around Sorong in West Papua (probably) in the first half of 1861 (Wallace 1869; Baker 1993), and so the type locality can be considered to be Indonesia (West Papua). Notes Baker (1993: 235) identified this specimen as the holotype and stated that he labelled it, but we found no type label; this has now been rectified. Current status Megachile (Callomegachile) nidulator Smith, 1865 (Ascher & Pickering 2024). Distribution Indonesia (West Papua) (Smith 1865; Ascher & Pickering 2024).
