Description
Taxonomy of Protopolybia sedula species-group
The group of species herein referred to as Protopolybia sedula comprise four species. Detailed descriptions of Protopolybia acutiscutis, P. amarella, P. sedula and P. weyrauchi have been given in previous works (Bequaert 1944a, b; Richards 1978), But they are redescribed here, in view of the new traits described by Santos-Junior et al. (2015). Additional information is presented for species in general, whenever available, including new collection records, descriptions of the male genitalia. Information about species distribution, other than from the material examined here, was taken from Richards (1978), Richards (Unpublished manuscript), Sarmiento (1994) and West- Eberhard et al. (1995).
