Description

Centris muralis melanopus Friese, 1908

Centris muralis var. melanopus Friese, 1908: 58. Junior synonym of C. muralis Burmeister, 1876 (Moure et al. 2007).

Type data: This variety of Centris muralis was proposed from male and female specimens collected by the Danish hymenopterist Anders Christian Jensen-Haarup (1863–1934) in Mendoza, northwest Argentina. During 1904, Jensen-Haarup made a collecting trip to Mendoza, returning to Denmark the next year. In 1906, he returned to Mendoza, this time accompanied by the Danish entomologist Peter Jörgensen (1870–1937). According to the information of the label of the syntype male found at ZMB, that specimen ‒here designated the lectotype‒ was collected during his second trip. The specimen has the following data label: Argentina Mendoza [printed] 3.11 [handwritten] 190 [printed] 6 [handwritten] Jensen [printed]\ C. muralis v. melanopus Fr. ♂ [handwritten] 1907 Friese det. [printed]\ [red label] Typus [printed]\ [red label with black rim] Lectotypus [printed]\ [red label] Lectotype Centris muralis malanopus Friese, 1908 des. F. Vivallo, 2014 [handwritten] (ZMB).

Type locality: Argentina: Mendoza province.

Comment: Centris muralis is the largest species of the subgenus C. (Wagenknechtia). Photographs of both sexes can be found in Vivallo (2013).
