Type data. Gribodo described this species using a single female specimen that has the following data label: [light green label with green rim] Coll. Gribodo [printed in green] Patagones [handwritten] D [printed in green]\ Anthophora plumigera Grib. Tipo ♀ D. Gribodo [handwritten] ( MSNG) .

Type locality. Argentina: Buenos Aires province: Carmen de Patagones (“Patagones”) .

Comments. Gribodo (1893) cited the type locality as “Punta Arenas (Tierra del Fuego)”. However, in the label of the holotype is indicated Patagones. Punta Arenas is the most austral city of Chile, while Patagones (Carmen de Patagones) is in the Buenos Aires province in central east Argentina. According to Vivallo (2013) Centris muralis has never been recorded in Chile, only in Argentina, thus the information of the original description must be erroneous. This is also de case for Anthophora virgo (see below). Photographs of both sexes can be found in Vivallo (2013).
