Goniocolletes subdolus (Cockerell, 1913)

Paracolletes fervidus subdolus * Cockerell 1913b: 279–280 ; 1934: 26.

Paracolletes subdolus Cockerell. Rayment 1949: 33–36 .

Leioproctus (Leioproctus) subdolus (Cockerell) . Michener 1965: 52.

Leioproctus (Goniocolletes) dolosus Michener 1965: 66 , 256–257, figs 44, 56,139–141, Plate 3 (1,2).

The holotype of Leioproctus (Goniocolletes) dolosus is male and is the same as those males associated with Paracolletes fervidus subdolus by morphological similarity and coincident collection data.

Types

Paracolletes fervidus subdolus — Victoria: holotype ♀, Cheltenham, French ( BMNH 17 a.415) .

Leioproctus (Goniocolletes) dolosus — Victoria: holotype ♂, Tooradin, 11.i.1946, O. Dawson ( ANIC) ; paratypes, 1♀, Tooradin, 5.ii.1946, O. Dawson ( ANIC) ; 1♂, Cranbourne, 15.i.1946, O. Dawson ( ANIC) .

Additional material examined: 7♀, 5♂ New South Wales: Blue Mts. Australian Capital Territory: Tidbinbilla; Black Mt. Victoria: Colquhoun State Forest , N Lakes Entrance; Seaforth .

Months collected: January, February, November.

Floral visitations: Myrtaceae : Eucalyptus spp ..

Female — Length ca 12mm, head and mesosoma black, metasoma black with mottled orange patches. Head — Mandible black to dark red; facial foveae impressed strongly for the entire margin; hair yellow not appressed; scape black, flagellum brown, darker above; malar space length about a seventh width, polished. Mesosoma —Legs paler towards apices, densely haired; scutum and scutellum with dense, short golden hair; propodeal triangle with basal area slightly roughened, shorter than length of metanotum; defined by distinct transverse carina; mid tibial spur long, and slender; hind basitibial plate obscured by dense, fine branched hair; inner hind tibial spur with 6–8, widely spaced teeth. Metasoma —Hair bands absent; gradulus distinct only on T2–3; caudal fimbria very dense, and dark brown; pygidial plate apically emarginate, broad, with broad median convex ridge. Male — As for female except as follows: Length ca 12 mm. Head— Hair golden, dense, appressed; mandibles black; flagellum simple, black; hair of ventral gena yellow. Mesosoma —Scutum and scutellum covered with dense, long, golden hair; legs black except anterior fore tibia which is yellow; basal area of propodeal triangle very rough. Metasoma— Hair T1– 7 long, orange and moderately dense; pygidial plate clearly defined, rounded apically, rough; S3–4 with apical fringe discontinued medially, hair longest laterally; S6 with median tuft of hair; S8 strongly protruding; for details of S7–8 and genitalia see figs 223–225. Known from coastal south eastern Australia rather than the drier inland like most of the other species in this genus.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank all of those people who have assisted and provided advice over the years, in particular Elizabeth Exley, my PhD supervisor, and colleagues at the University of Queensland during my studies especially Manon Griffiths, Tony Clarke, Chris Burwell, Helen Wallace, Judy King and Myron Zalucki and my friends Laurence Mound, Alice Wells Mike Grimm and András Szitó for their undaunting encouragement to publish this document. Additionally I would like to acknowledge the help that I was given from Margaret Schneider (UQIC), Jo Cardale (ANIC), Ken Walker (MV), Terry Houston (WAM), Geoff Holloway (AM) and George Else (BMNH), who were curators of the main collections from which I borrowed specimens. As well, I am extremely grateful to those who have provided advice, support and encouragement, in more recent years, during my endeavours to bring this publication to fruitition particularly Laurence Mound, Alice Wells and Bill Magee. I am grateful to the two reviewers (Dr Judy King and the anonymous reviewer) for comments and suggestions that helped to improve this article.
