( Figs. 5, 6 View Figures 5-6 )

Centris quartinae Gribodo, 1891: 110 View in CoL , 111. Junior synonym of C. obsoleta Lepeletier, 1841 View in CoL (Moure et al. 2007).

Type data. This species was described based on four females collected in Mérida, northwest Venezuela. Moure (1960) cited a holotype and paratype housed at MSNG, providing a redescription of the former specimen. According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature ( ICZN henceforth) Article number 74.6 this mention can be treated as a valid lectotype designation. The specimen has the following data label: [light green label with green rim] Coll. Gribodo [printed in green] Merida [printed] D [printed in green]\ Centris quartinae Grib ♀ Tipo D. Gribodo [handwritten] ( MSNG) . The paralectotype has the following data label: [light green label with green rim] Coll. Gribodo [printed in green] Merida [printed] D [printed in green] ( MSNG) . The current condition and depository of the remaining paralectotypes is unknown.

Type locality. Venezuela: Mérida state .

Comments. Gribodo (1891) named this species in homage to his late wife. According to Penati & Mariotti (2015) only three of the four females of the type series are present in Gribodo’s collection. Friese (1901) suspected about the synonymy between C. obsoleta and C. quartinae based on specimens identified by Gribodo. In 1960, Moure considered both as valid species, but Moure et al. (2007) cited C. quartinae as junior synonym of C. obsoleta . Photographs of both sexes of this species can be found in Vivallo & Zanella (2012).
