Comment

This species was cited as a junior synonym of C. varia (Moure et al. 2007), but it is actually a different species. Centris rufulina is only known from the type specimen and differs from C. varia, among other characters, by the shape of the third mandibular tooth (truncate in C. rufulina, acute in C. varia).
