摘要：
The mesotibial spur is presented as a new character for use in the systematics of the bee tribe Meliponini. Variable in morphology among the Meliponini, the mesotibial spur occurs as four observed states: present and normal, present and reduced, present and highly reduced, or completely absent. These states are characterized, their distribution across the Meliponini summarized, and their utility in the systematics of stingless bees discussed.
