Lectotype designations and new synonymies in the Neotropical bee genus Centris Fabricius, 1804 (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Author Rasmussen, Claus Author Vivallo, Felipe text Zootaxa 2014 3856 4 585 594 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3856.4.7 5f8d1730-eab2-4f71-81b6-2ecb81bb7e42 1175-5326 227847 4D9B10F3-5CB4-4B82-8A85-23651732C2FB Centris ( Heterocentris ) analis ( Fabricius, 1804 ) Anthophora analis Fabricius, 1804 : 375 Centris minuta Mocsáry, 1899 : 254 [New lectotype designation]. Junior subjective synonymy. Centris minuta lectotype (♂, Figs 5–8 ): A single male labeled “ Mexico ” [printed], “262 / 376.”, “85” [green label], “ minuta / det. Friese 1898 [printed] / Mocs.” is here designated as the lectotype . An additional male specimen labeled “Säo Paulo / Brasilia [printed]”, “908 / 10.” is designated paralectotype , while a third female specimen from “Piauchy, Brasilia ” is not considered from the type series. The collecting and type locality cannot be further narrowed down than to Mexico , from where it is reported from many states ( Moure et al . 2007 ). According to the HNHM accession book (entry 262/376) the specimen was collected by Imre (or Emerich) Verebélyi who sent 82 Mexican Hymenoptera specimens to HNHM in 1868 ( Mocsáry 1902 ). We have been unable to locate the area of Mexico from where Verebélyi collected. The lectotype of C . minuta corresponds to the previously established senior synonymy, C . analis (synonymy proposed in Moure 1960).
