Type data

This species was described based on an undetermined number of females. A single specimen of the type series was found at MNHN that was interpreted as “type” by Snelling (1984). This assumption can be considered a valid lectotype designation (ICZN 1999: article 74.6). The specimen bears the following data label: TYPE [printed in red]\ Centris confinis J. P. [handwritten]\ Type [handwritten with blue ink] (MNHN).

Type locality
