Description
Centris griseola Snelling, 1984
Centris (Xerocentris) griseola SNELLING, 1984: 4.
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).
