Synonymic note on Epicharis (Triepicharis) Moure 1945 (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
The characters distinguishing the two species currently recognized in the subgenus Triepicharis Moure, 1945 are re-evaluated on specimens collected across their ranges. As a result, Epicharis (Triepicharis) schrottkyi Friese, 1900 is proposed to be a junior synonym of E. (T.) analis Lepeletier, 1841, making the subgenus monospecific.
Key words: Centridini, Neotropics, Oil bee, Specific variation, Taxonomy, Wild bee.
