- Centris (Heterocentris) lanipes (Fabricius) (Fig. 19). Apis lanipes Fabricius, 1775: 386. Lectotype female in ZMK, designated by Moure (1960a). GD: British Virgin Islands (Guana Island), Hispaniola, Lesser Antilles (Guadeloupe), Puerto Rico (including Culebra and Mona Islands), and Unites States Virgin Islands (St. Thomas) (Crawford 1914; Moure 1960a; Genaro 2007). Gribodo (1892) mentioned this species’ distribution. It is common to observe C. lanipes gathering sand for nest construction along trails of the Guánica dry forest reserve in southwestern Puerto Rico. This species may also use preexisting cavities located in various substrates, as occurs in other species of the subgenus Heterocentris (Snelling 1984; Vinson et al. 1996).
