Hoplitis (Alcidamea) wuae Sheffield, new name ZooBank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 749F08D4-1849-4748-8CA7-41781FE66EF1 (Figs. 1–6) Hoplitis (Liosmia) truncata Wu, 1993: 1393, 1419 [♂]. Preoccupied, not Hoplitis truncata (Cresson, 1878). Holotype: ♂. CHINA, Sichuan: Xiangcheng, 3800 m, 2.VII.1982 [Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, IOZ(E) no. 210138]. ETYMOLOGY: The new species name honours Yan-Ru Wu, the author of the preoccupied name, for her major contributions to bee systematics. COMMENTS. Wu (2006: 99) and Niu et al. (2018) indicated 1992 as the year of authorship, but the species was named and described in Volume 2, which is dated 1993 on the front plate, though “Dec., 1992” appears on the chapter heading. To be consistent with the front plate for Volume 2, 1993 is used here.
