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
Agatha (given name) Agatha (given name) Agatha also Agata, is a feminine given name derived from the Ancient Greek word ἀγαθός ("agathos"), meaning "good". It was the name of St. Agatha of Sicily, a third-century Christian martyr. The name has been rarely used in English-speaking countries in recent years. It was last ranked among the top 1,000 names for girls born in the United States during the 1930s. In Russian, the name "" ("Agata") was borrowed from the Western European languages, and derives from the same Ancient Greek root from which older names Agafya and Agafa also come. Its masculine version is Agat.
