Abstract
Euglossa (Glossura) bazinga sp. n., a species similar to Euglossa (Glossura) ignita Smith, 1874, is described from the central and northwestern parts of Mato Grosso, western Brazil. The new species is the smallest of all Euglossa Latreille, 1802 belonging to the subgenus Glossura Cockerell, 1917 and one of few that occur in drier and more open habitats like savanna and Brazilian Cerrado. Additionally, a lectotype for E. ignita is here designated.
