Centrisrhodophthalma Pérez, 1911

Centrisrhodophthalma Pérez, 1911: 55–59.

Type data

This species was described based on an undetermined number of females collected in Chañarcillo, northern Chile by the Chilean naturalist Carlos Emilio Porter (1867‒1942). A single female was found at MNHN that was cited by Moure et al. (2007) as holotype. However, I here consider it as syntype, following the recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999). This specimen is here designated lectotype, and it bears the following data label: Chañarcillo [handwritten]\ TYPE [printed in red]\ Centris rhodophthalma J P [handwritten] (MNHN) ( Fig. 4A ).

Type locality

Chile: Atacama Region, Chañarcillo.
