Eufriesea Surinamensis
''Eufriesea surinamensis'' belongs to the tribe of euglossine bees and as such is a species of orchid bee. This should not be mistaken with the species group ''surinamensis'', which includes ''Ef. surinamensis'' among other ''Eufriesea'' species. Taxonomy and phylogeny ''Eufriesea surinamensis'' was first described by Swedish zoologist Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The genera '' Eufriesia'' and '' Euplusia'' were combined in 1979 by Kimsey. The genus '' Eufriesea,'' consisting of 52 species, was later reviewed by Kimsey in 1982. Euglossine bees are a relatively new group of bee, sharing a common ancestor with the Bombini, one of the four tribes of corbiculate bee that have a pollen basket. The genus ''Eufriesia'' is the second largest within the Euglossini tribe. It is challenging to distinguish between the over fifty ''Eufriesea'' species, particularly since the females mimic each other. Within the surinamensis group it is very difficult to distinguish between females of different s ...

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to collect an ...
