Three new species of Eupetersia Blüthgen 1928 (Hymenoptera, Halictidae) from the Oriental Region

Three new species, Eupetersia (Nesoeupetersia) singaporensis sp. nov., collected in a mangrove swamp in Singapore, and Eupetersia (Nesoeupetersia) sabahensis sp. nov., collected in the mountains of Sabah, Borneo, and Eupetersia (Nesoeupetersia) yanegai sp. nov., collected in Thailand, are described. This genus is more diversified in the sub-Saharan region, including Madagascar. The only other Oriental species, E. nathani (Baker, 1974), was described from India and is diagnosed and re-illustrated here.
