Remarks

The work entitled "The oil-collecting bees of Centris (Paracentris) (Hymenoptera: Apidae)", published by F. Vivallo in the form of a book, is not treated here as available since there is no evidence that it complies with Art. 8.1.3 of the ICZN: "it must have been produced in an edition containing simultaneously obtainable copies by a method that assures numerous identical and durable copies". Therefore, all nomenclatural acts in this work cannot be considered valid.
