Abstract: 80. Nomada insularis Smith, 1863 Fig. 79 Nomada insularis Smith, 1863: 47, ♀. Type material examined Lectotype INDONESIA • ♀; Cer. [Ceram]; [either 31 Oct.–28. Dec. 1859 or 26 Feb.–17 Jun. 1860]; OUMNH, ENT-HYME2834 (lectotype designated by Schwarz & Gusenleitner 2004). Type locality Ceram [= Seram]. Notes Baker (1993: 231) identified this specimen as the holotype and stated that he labelled it, but we found no type label. Schwarz & Gusenleitner (2004: 1418) published the specimen as a lectotype (giving the year of publication as 1864) and we see no reason to relabel the specimen as the holotype (cf. ICZN recommendation 73F). Current status Nomada (Mininomada) insularis Smith, 1863. Part of the furva group considered by Alexander & Schwarz (1994) which is now described as subgenus Mininomada Straka, 2024 (Straka et al. 2024). Lasioglossum (Halictidae) are the likely hosts due to the small body size and complete absence of species of Andrena Fabricius, 1775 (Andrenidae) in the Southeast Asian islands (Straka et al. 2024). Distribution Indonesia (Maluku: Seram) (Smith 1863; Ascher & Pickering 2024).
