SCAPTOTRIGONA POSTICA (LATREILLE) View in CoL

Lucas (1958) and Lucas de Oliveira (1960) compared the anatomy of the five larval instars of Scaptotrigona postica (Latreille) (as Nannotrigona (Scaptotrigona) postica (Latreille)) with those of Melipona (Eomelipona) bicolor schencki Gribodo (as Melipona nigra schencki Gribodo ). The detailed illustrations of the heads and mandibles of the larval instars in the 1958 paper are admirable.
