Centris pectoralis clypeata ( Schrottky, 1908) View in CoL

Hemisia pectoralis var. clypeata Schrottky, 1908: 142 View in CoL . Junior secondary homonym of C. clypeata Lepeletier, 1841 View in CoL . Junior synonym of C. obsoleta ( Moure et al., 2007) View in CoL .

Type data: This species was apparently described based on a single male collected by János Anisits in Asunción, Paraguay. The current condition and depository of the holotype are currently unknown.

Comments: Moure (1950) mentioned the variability in the coloration of the pubescence of C. pectoralis Burmeister,1876 (= C.obsoleta ) indicating that the varieties described of that species must be suppressed, which would include C. pectoralis var. clypeata and C. pectoralis var. flava (see below). However, the synonymy between this latter variety and C. obsoleta was only formally indicated by Moure et al. (2007).
