Type data.
Centris griseola
was described based on
four females
collected by the
American
botanist, entomologist and pioneer chemist
Robert Rickert Dreisbach
(1888–1964) in
Iguala
,
Guerrero State
,
Mexico
.
In
1907,
Dreisbach
began his plant collection, but by 1932 his interests had begun to swing to insects, and plant collecting became a secondary but important hobby.
Collecting
trips took him to many parts of the
United States
,
Mexico
, and
Central America
in search of insects and plant specimens.
His
insect collection grew to be one of the largest private collections in the nation (
FLETCHER, 1964
)
.
The
holotype
of
C
.
griseola
is deposited at
SEMK
