A new study of a surviving syntype of Trigona meadewaldoi Cockerell, 1915, was undertaken and several widely employed names for Neotropical stingless bees recognized as junior synonyms. A lectotype is designated for Trigona meadewaldoi and the following new synonymies established: Tetragona francoi Moure, 1946, and Trigona (Frieseomelitta) freiremaiai Moure, 1963. These nomenclatural matters are here settled and the species thoroughly characterized in advance of a forthcoming phylogenetic consideration of the genus Frieseomelitta von Ihering, 1912.
对1915年克氏梅德瓦尔多蜜蜂（Trigona meadewaldoi Cockerell）的一个幸存同模标本进行了一项新研究，并将新热带无刺蜂几个广泛使用的名称认定为次异名。为克氏梅德瓦尔多蜜蜂指定了一个选模，并建立了以下新的异名关系：1946年的弗朗氏四方蜜蜂（Tetragona francoi Moure）和1963年的弗雷雷迈氏蜜蜂（Trigona (Frieseomelitta) freiremaiai Moure）。这些命名问题在此得到解决，并在即将对1912年伊hering的弗氏无刺蜂属（Frieseomelitta von Ihering）进行系统发育研究之前，对该物种进行了全面描述。
