Centris (Ptilocentris) horvathi Friese, 1901

Centris horvathi Friese, 1901: 118

Centris horvathi holotype (♀): Moure et al. (2007) were unable to locate the holotype but it is in fact in HNHM. Friese examined a single female, the holotype, labeled “ Peru / Callanga”, “ Centris ♀ / horvathii / 1900 Friese det. [printed] / n.sp.”. The species was named in honor of the HNHM Zoology section director, Géza Horváth (1847–1937), but original spelling in the description as “ horváthi ” or from the label as “horvathii” is incorrect (Rasmussen & Ascher 2008). Callanga was an Inca economic outpost in the Peruvian tropical Andean foot-hills where coca and other crops were grown centuries ago (Gade 1999). The collector of this specimen is not indicated, commercial collectors known to have been active in Callanga around the turn of the last century are the Garlepp brothers (Gade 1999; Rasmussen 2012), Gustav (1862–1907) and Otto (1864–1959), who likely collected the type specimen. The locality is the Rio Callanga, a tributary from Rio Piñi Piñi and Rio Alto Madre de Dios. Moure et al. (2007) suggested that Callanga is in Lima, west of the Andes, which is an error.
