| Abstract | Here, we describe a new species of genus Bombus Latreille, 1802 from northeastern Brazil, Bombus (Thoracobombus) applanatus Oliveira, Françoso & Arias, sp. nov. Molecular analysis was initially performed to confirm the new species placement within the genus Bombus. Afterward, we performed an integrative approach combining molecular data (DNA barcoding and two nuclear regions) and morphology to confirm its taxonomic status. The genetic and morphological data were very consistent and congruent supporting this group as a new species. B. (Thoracobombus) applanatus Oliveira, Françoso & Arias, sp. nov. has the body totally covered by black pilosity and can be distinguished from closer and/or sympatric species by clypeus shape, which has a distinct flattened dorsal platform, by length of malar area and the length and shape of the hairs, shorter and aligned as if it was trimmed. In addition, brief taxonomic notes on Bombus (Thoracobombus) brevivillus Franklin (1913) and Bombus (Thoracobombus) morio Swederus (1787), the sympatric species, are provided. A key for identification of Brazilian Bombus species, including the new species, was elaborated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
