Brief notes are presented on the classifications of Scaura Schwarz and Geotrigona Moure. A new subgeneric system is proposed for Scaura in which three subgenera are recognized: Scaura Schwarz, s.str.; Scauracea Engel, new subgenus; Schwarzula Moure. Likewise, a new subgenus is proposed in Geotrigona as Chthonotrigona Engel, new subgenus.
