Centrisnobilis Westwood 1840

Centrisnobilis Westwood, 1840 Centrisnobilis Westwood, 1840: 263–264. 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”.Published as part of Vivallo, Felipe, 2023, The primary types of some species of Centris bees described by European entomologists in the 18 and 20 centuries (Hymenoptera: Apidae), pp. 1-27 in European Journal of Taxonomy 864 on page 22, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2023.864.2083, http://zenodo.org/record/801193
