Furthermore, Pesenko (2006) synonymised L. discus fertoni with L. discus based on several Transcaucasian and Central Asia specimens, whose T1 punctation matched that of L. fertoni . According to Pesenko (2006), the L. discus specimen collected in China and preserved at ZIN “undoubtedly belongs to ‘ L. discus fertoni ’.” While some Central Asian specimens examined during this study do resemble the morphology described by Popov, a thorough assessment of both external and internal morphological characters confirms their placement within L. discus and not L. fertoni . Further research is necessary to determine the identity of the supposed L. fertoni specimens from China and Central Asia.</p><p>Although Lasioglossum discus was originally described by Smith (1853) with a type locality given as “North America”, subsequent studies have cast doubt on this attribution. Ebmer (1976) re-examined Smith’s material and concluded that the species is in fact West Palaearctic, not Nearctic, where representatives of the subgenus Leuchalictus are absent, and the only species recorded, L. zonulus (Smith, 1848) and L. leucozonium (Schrank, 1871), are introduced from the Palearctic (Ebmer 2011). In his revision, Ebmer (1976) examined three syntype specimens and interpreted the label “Rhea” as possibly referring to a locality in Greece, though he did not identify a specific site.</p><p>However, as noted by Baker (1993), the name “Rhea” is more likely an unpublished manuscript name rather than a geographical indication, possibly linked to classical references, as was common in 19 th- century collections. Given the absence of a reliable type locality and following Baker’s treatment, the species should be regarded as lacking a definitive terra typica.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EAB8698D62AC72BA89F8D9FD23FCC9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
