Johann Ludwig Christ

Johann Ludwig Christ (1739‒1813) was a German naturalist, gardener and pastor. Despite being a specialist in Hymenoptera , he also became interested in fruit growing, agriculture and beekeeping while he was a pastor, first in Wetterau and later in Kronberg, Germany ( Wilhelm 1957). Christ died in his country of origin, aged 74.

Christ’s Centris bee

Christ only contributed to the knowledge of Centris describing a variety of C. flavifrons ( Fabricius, 1775) from Brazil. Currently, it is considered a junior synonym of that species.
