Descrizione:Numerical taxonomic methods were used to localize two fossil bees: Meliponorytes devictus and Electrapis proava. The results indicate that both bees belong to the tribe Meliponini (Apidae). M. devictus was confirmed as Tetragona devicta. E. proa va is strongly associated to the superior trigonas (Trigona, Scaptotrigona, Oxytrigona), and according to the different existing taxonomic schools it should be renamed either Trigona (Roussyana) proava or simply Roussyana proava.
