Description
Ropalidia flavoscutellata Polašek, 2025
Taxonomy.
Ropalidia flavoscutellata Polašek, 2025 is a name that was assigned to a newly described taxon, but it is a junior primary homonym of Ropalidia jacobsoni flavoscutellata Das & Gupta, 1989. Due to this, in line with the (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature 1999), articles 53.3, 60.3 and 72.7, a new replacement name is proposed for this taxon, Ropalidia mutuntula Polašek, nom. nov. The etymology of the name stems from Bemba, a major language spoken in the region of the holotype collection, translated as “ yellow ”, referring to large yellow areas on the body, noun in apposition.
