Title: A new species of the bee genus Centris from Peru (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Abstract: Centris (Paracentris) Cameron is one of the more diverse subgenera within the bee genus Centris (Moure et al. 2007), being broadly distributed in the Neotropical Region, and showing an amphitropical distribution pattern (Michener 1979). The sixteen South American species of Centris (Paracentris) (Zanella 2002; Moure et al. 2007) occur in different biomes of the continent; such as low altitudes and valleys of Central Chile and Argentina (Roig-Alsina 2000; Vivallo et al. 2003), high altitudes of the Andes (they are specially diverse in this region) and with a few species in the low mountain chains and plains of Eastern Brazil (Zanella 2002). The subgenus was recently revised by Zanella (2002) and a new species from Central Peru is described here, which augments that revision.
