Centris fulva Friese, 1924 View in CoL

Centris flavilabris var. fulva Friese, 1924: 22 View in CoL .

Type data: Friese (1924) proposed this variety based on a single male collected by the notable entomologist, botanist and ethnographer specializing in Amazonia Adolpho Ducke (1876–1959) in Santarém, northern Brazil. The holotype is housed at AMNH and it has the following data label: Brasil Para 1903 Ducke [printed] 12• [handwritten] Santarem [handwritten]\ C. flavilabris v. fulva Fr. ♂ [handwritten] 1900 Friese det. [printed]\ Am. Mus. Na. Hist. Dept. Invert. Zool. No. [printed] 26462 [handwritten]\ AMNH _ENT AMNH _BEE 00274792 QR code [printed]\ [light blue label] HOLOTYPE Centris flavilabris fulva Friese, 1924 [handwritten] ( AMNH).

Type locality: Brazil: Pará state: Santarém .

Comment: Centris fulva is only known from male specimens. Considering its distributional range in the Amazonian basin, as well as some morphological features, the unknown female could be the species described as C. restrepoi Moure, 2002 , which is only known from female specimens. Unfortunately, C. fulva and C. restrepoi are not frequently found in collections and nothing is known about their bionomy and nesting habits.
