Type data

This species was described based on two male specimens collected by Francisco Campos Ribadeneira in Posorja (“Posoya”), Ecuador. Campos ( 1878–1943) was an intellectual from Guayaquil and the first Ecuadorian entomologist ( Barragán et al. 2009). He collected numerous insects and created the first entomological collection in that country ( Moret 2005).

One of those males was found at NMNH under the number 24881 and bears an original Cockerell’s label of type. The specimen ( Fig. 3 View Fig ) has the following data label: Posorja Ecua FCamposR [printed]\ Centris disclusa Ckll Type.
