Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson

Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson (1809‒1848) was a German doctor and entomologist. He worked actively in different areas of zoology, mainly with beetles, which led him to be appointed curator of the Coleoptera collection of the ZMB ( Klug 1850). Erichson died very young, only 39 years old.

Erichson’s Centris bee

Erichson described several new species of insects, but only two in Centris . When he proposed them, Hemisia Klug, 1807 was considered the valid name of the genus, so he placed his species in it. Later, the genus name was updated to Centris .
