In his revision of Megachile (1980) Professor Mitchell erected a new subgenus and named it Moureana after Padre Jesus Moure of the Universidade Federal do Paraná. However, the name is preoccupied by a genus of Cerambycidae View in CoL of Zajciw (1967) for the then undescribed species of M. unicolor . The holotype of the beetle is in the collection of Sr. Alberto Campos Seabra of Rio de Janeiro.
