Karl Wilhelm von Dalla Torre
Karl Wilhelm von Dalla Torre (1850–1928) was an Austrian naturalist. He studied mathematics and natural sciences at the Universität Innsbruck, where he was later hired as professor of zoology (Clément 1928). He studied actively the taxonomy of Hymenoptera, where he published several classic works on specific groups as well as the first catalogues of the order. Dalla Torre died in Innsbruck, aged 77.
Dalla Torre’s Centris bee
Dalla Torre did not describe any species of Centris, but instead proposed a new name for C. thoracica Smith, 1874, a junior homonym of a species previously described by Lepeletier (1841). The primary type of C. thoracica Smith is currently housed at NHMUK and it bears the following data label: [redrimmed circular label] Type H. T. [printed]\ B.M. TYPE HYM. [printed] 17B.904. [handwritten]\ St. Dom. 55.1. [printed]\ Centristhoracica Smith (Type) [handwritten]\ NHMUK 01081396 [QR code] (NHMUK).
