Eufriesea venezolana (Schrottky, 1913)
Centris venezolana Schrottky, C. (1913). Neue südamerikanische Hymenopteren. Dtsch. Entomol. Z. 1913: 702-708 [708] .
Type data: holotype MZUSP 102.943 <M> (Nemésio & Rasmussen (2011:23) considered that the name was proposed based on more than a single specimen and treated the MZUSP specimen as a syntype. Even if this is the case, Moure (1967:410) then should be considered to have validly designated a lectotype (G. A. R. Melo, unpubl.)).
Type locality: Venezuela.
