Taxonomy
Heriades carinatum Cresson, 1864: 383 [♀, ♂].
Lectotype ♀, designated by Cresson (1916: 114). USA, Pennsylvania [ANSP no. 2242].
*Heriades glomerans Schletterer, 1889: 681 [♀]. Synonymy by Michener (1938: 524).
Holotype ♀. CANADA [Nordamerika], British Columbia, Spence’s Bridge [Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France - MNHN].
Trypetes barbatus Robertson, 1903: 171 [♀, not ♂].Synonymy by Michener (1938: 524).
Lectotype ♀, designated by W.E. LaBarge, in Webb (1980:118). USA, Illinois, Carlinville, 17 July 1888, by C.A. Robertson [INHS, Robertson no. 8125].
Taxonomic Notes: Schletterer (1889: 686) was the first to correct the suffix ending to -a.
Though Schletterer (1889: 682) indicated a type locality of “Nordamerika (Spence’s Bridge in British Columbia) for H. glomerans Schletterer, Dalla Torre (1896: 378), Friese (1909: 165) indicated it was an African species (“Afr. or.”), and Eardley and Urban (2010: 207) included it as a valid African species in their catalogue of Afrotropical bees.
Cockerell (1904: 25-26) synonymized Trypetes barbatus Robertson under H. gracilior Cockerell with uncertainty, making specific reference to the females. Robertson (1905: 236) indicated that the male of his T. barbatus was not associated correctly when first described, and described it as a new species, Trypetes productus Robertson [= Heriades variolosa (Cresson, 1872)]; both the male and T. productus were considered synonymies of Heriades variolosa (Cresson, 1872)] by Michener (1938: 519). Michener (1938: 524) indicated that Cockerell (1907: 253) incorrectly indentified H. carinata as H. gracilior Cockerell.
