Kelulut Thoracica:
Geniotrigona thoracica ialah jenis lebah kelulut spesis endemik di Malaysia. Ia terdiri daripada kumpulan kelulut Indo-Malayan. Kelulut ini dikenal pasti sebagai salah satu agen pendebunga untuk tanaman seperti durian, rambutan, dan manggis. T. thoracica lazimnya akan membuat sarang di batang dan tunggul kayu. Madunya walau pun sedikit tetapi ia memang boleh dimakan. Ia melindungi sarangnya dengan lapisan propolis.
Kajian dibeberapa lokasi mendapati daripada banyak jenis lebah kelulut didakwa spesis T. thoracica ini dapat di kelaskan sebagai jenis yang memang special kerana ia memiliki ukuran tubuh yang lebih besar jika dibandingkan lebah trigona lainnya. Kelulut jnis ini memiliki ciri yang mudah dibezakan pada warna tubuhnya yang didominasi warna hitam kecoklatan (brownies) dan bagian thorax yang berwarna coklat.

Geniotrigona thoracica is an endemic species of honey bee in Malaysia. It consists of the Indo-Malayan rhinoceros group. Kelulut is identified as one of the pollinating agents for crops such as durian, rambutan, and mangosteen. T. thoracica will usually make nests in tree trunks and stumps. The honey is even a little but it is edible. It protects its nest with a layer of propolis.
Studies in several locations found that of the many types of bees claimed to be T. thoracica, this species can be classified as a special type because it has a larger body size compared to other trigona bees. This type of kelulut has characteristics that are easily distinguished by the color of the body which is dominated by black -brown (brownies) and the thorax is brown.
