Taxonomic notes, lectotype designations and new synonymies in some species of the bee genus Centris Fabricius, 1804 described by Sandor Mocsary and Heinrich Friese (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

摘要

In this paper some primary types of Centris bees described by Sandor Mocsary and Heinrich Friese deposited at Magyar Termeszettudomanyi Muzeum, Hungary were studied. To stabilize the application of some names, lectotypes were designated for C. aeneiventris Mocsary, C. bicornuta Mocsary, C. flavilabris Mocsary, C. fulviventris Mocsary, C. lineolata castaniventris Mocsary, C. zonata Mocsary, C. labiata Friese, C. klugii Friese, and C. fusciventris scutellata Friese. In addition, C. aeneiventris, C. intermixta Friese and C. pseudoephippia Friese are proposed as new junior synonymies of C. ephippia Smith. This latter species, along with C. scutellata are transferred to C. (Melanocentris) Friese from the subgenera C. (Ptilocentris) Snelling and C. (Aphemisia) Ayala, respectively. Taxonomic notes on type material of C. bicornuta and C. conspersa Mocsary are also provided.
