Centris burgdorfi ocellata
(
Schrottky, 1908
)
Hemisia burgdorfi
var.
ocellata
Schrottky, 1908: 139
, 140. Junior synonym of
C. burgdorfi
Friese, 1901
(Roig‑ Alsina, 2000).
Type
data:
Schrottky (1908)
proposed this variety of
C. burgdorfi
studying an undetermined number of females and males that belonged to the collection of Anisits collected in
Asunción
,
Paraguay
.
Moure
et al.
(2007)
were unable to locate the
type
series and unfortunately it was not found during the development of this article. Its current condition and depository are unknown.
Comments:
According to the information on the original description, the
type
specimens have two spots of yellowish pubescence on the mesonotum. However, the pilosity of
C. burgdorfi
is very variable, being possible to find specimens with the dorsal surface of the mesosoma completely covered by blackish or yellowish pubescence, including intermediary forms. This species has been recorded in
Argentina
(provinces of Misiones and
Corrientes
) (
Roig‑Alsina, 2000
),
Brazil
(
Ceará
,
Distrito Federal
,
Minas Gerais
,
Paraná
,
Pernambuco
,
Rio Grande do Sul
, and
São Paulo
states) and in
Paraguay
(Central and
Guairá
departments) (
Moure
et al.,
2007
).
