Lectotype designations, taxonomic notes and new synonymy in some species of the bee genus Centris Fabricius, 1804 described by William Henry Fox (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Author Vivallo, Felipe text Zootaxa 2019 2019-07-02 4624 4 478 490 journal article 26333 10.11646/zootaxa.4624.4.2 73ed195b-2e03-4316-ac3d-91b8d6911fc3 1175-5326 3265550 E3C1CE43-9345-47BE-A7DF-1B19BD78DEE7 Centris ( Centris ) eisenii Fox, 1893 ( Figures 1, 2 , 5 ) Centris eisenii Fox, 1893 . 22, 23. Type data: Fox (1893) based the description of this species on an undetermined number of females collected in Guaymas, Sinaloa state , Mexico . Moure et al . (2007) mentioned a type series composed by at least four specimens housed at CAS . Two females were found at ANSP that agree with the information provided in the original description being both certainly primary types. One of these specimens has a red label with the words “Type 101191 ” and the other one has a light green label with the words “Para-type 101191 ”. Fox (1893) did not indicate explicitly which female was designated as the holotype ; therefore, a lectotype needs to be designated. The specimen labeled with the word “type” is in better condition, and it is here designated lectotype . The chosen specimen has the following data label ( Fig. 5 ): [light brown label] Guaymas Mex [handwritten]\ [light brown label] Centris eisenii Fox [handwritten]\ [white label] 1980 Loan to USNM from Acad. of Nat. Sciences at Philadelphia [printed]\ [dark red label] Type No. [printed] 10191 [handwritten]\ [light blue label] Lectotype Centris eisenii Fox, 1893 F. Vivallo des, 2017 [handwritten]. Paralectotype female with the following data label: [light brown label] Guaymas Mex [handwritten]\ [light pink label] Centris eisenii Fox [handwritten]\ [light green label] Para-Type [printed] 10191 [handwritten]\ [light blue label] Paralectotype Centris eisenii Fox, 1893 F. Vivallo des, 2017 [handwritten]. Both type specimens are in good condition. The presence of syntypes (now paralectotypes ) at CAS could not be confirmed. Type locality: Mexico : Sonora state : Guaymas . Comment: This species was correctly interpreted by Snelling (1966 , 1974 , 1984 ) and Moure et al . (2007) .
