Centris ehrhardti Schrottky, 1902 View in CoL

Centris ehrhardti Schrottky, 1902b: 579 View in CoL . Junior synonym of C. dorsata View in CoL ( Friese 1904; Schrottky, 1904).

Type data: Schrottky (1902b) described this species from a couple of males collected by Wilhelm Ehrhardt in Rincão, southeastern Brazil. Ehrhardt (1860‑1936) was a Guyana‑born German animal collector and an excellent taxidermist that operated in Brazil around the early 20 th century. He collected thousands of specimens of various animal groups, among them some amphibian, fish, mammal and insect species ( Gutsche et al., 2007). Both syntypes are housed at MZSP being here designated the lectotype the one in best condition ( Figs. 2A, B View Figure 2 ). The specimen has the following data label: 97250 [printed]\ 1360 [handwritten]\ ♂ [handwritten]. The paralectotype has the following data label: 97250 [printed]\ 1360 [handwritten]\ ♂ [handwritten].

Comments: Schrottky (1902b) mentioned that the type specimens were collected on a Caesalpiniaceae , probably Cassia sp. According to the accession book at MZSP the number 1,360 refers to the following data: “ Brazil, São Paulo, Rincão, ii.1901, D. Ehrardt col” ( Ramos et al., 2015). Centris dorsata has been recorded in Bolivia (Cochabamba department) and Brazil (Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo states) ( Moure et al., 2007).
