Nesagapostemon Nesagapostemon Nesagapostemon is an extinct monotypic genus of sweat bee in the Halictidae subfamily Halictinae. At present, it contains the single species "Nesagapostemon moronei". The genus name "Nesagapostemon" is derived from a combination of the Greek "nesos", meaning "island", and "Agapostemon", a very similar genus of halictids which may be related. The species is named in honor of Ettore Morone of Turin, Italy. The species is known from the holotype, a single long female currently in the private collection owned by Morone (catalog number MACT-1172), and which was first studied by Dr. Michael S. Engel. Engel published his type description
Agnes (name) Agnes (name) Agnes is a female given name, which derives from the Greek name Ἁγνὴ "hagnē", meaning "pure" or "holy". The name passed to Italian as Agnese, to Portuguese as Inês, and to Spanish, as Inés or Inéz. It was the name of a popular Christian saint, Agnes of Rome, a fact which encouraged the wide use of the name. Agnes was the third most popular name for women in the English speaking world for more than 400 years. Its medieval pronunciation was "Annis," and its usage and many of its forms coincided with the equally popular name Anna, related
