The first proposal of a Latinized epithet for the same fossil appeared a quarter of a century later (Rilly, 1949). Rilly’s figures and ‘‘ descriptive’ ’ comments are poor and do not permit authoritative identification. His material is reported to have been deposited in the Museum de Marseille (Roussy, 1937). Repeated letters to directors and curators of this institution, however, have failed to invoke any response. From the little available evidence it is likely that this is a synonym of A. henshawi. Until the holotype can be located and examined, it is retained as a separate species but of uncertain taxonomic status		1		de Marseille											Museum de Marseille	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4857878CFFC2FC08F1C27F89FDD2F0CC#70963CC7FFC2FC08F1B97E00FDD6F0CC				MaterialCitation

Firstly, the ICZN (1999) explicitly prohibits the use of hyphenation or other marks (e. g., umlauts, diereses, diacritics) and the name must be emended to a single word. More troubling, however, is that the name as proposed is not available in zoological nomenclature. The subspecies was not provided with a description in words purported to differentiate the taxon, and no holotype (or type series of any kind!) was designated, as expressly required by the ICZN (1999) for the purpose of nomenclatural stability. The name must be considered a nomen nudum and may not be used. In general, however, I believe subspecies within Apis should all be synonymized under their respective species and I have, therefore, not attempted to validate a name for this form herein. If ever validated, then this name will take its authorship and date from any such later publication in cases of competing priority		1														https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4857878CFFC2FC08F1B879CBFB6FF5C0#70963CC7FFC2FC08F1B978ACFB93F5C0				MaterialCitation
