Type data Westwood proposed this new species based on an undetermined number of females from an unknown locality in South America. Moure & Seabra (1960) studied a single female housed at OUMNH that they recognized as “type”. According to the article 74.6 ( ICZN 1999), this assumption can be treated as a valid lectotype designation. The specimen bears the following data label: Centrisnobilis Westw Nat Lib. Bees P 264 Pl 20 FI [handwritten] (OUMNH). Type locality “Locality doubtful; but in all probability South America”.
