Reexamination of the type series of Centrorhynchus wardae Holloway, 1958, and Centrorhynchus conspectus Van Cleave and Pratt, 1940, revealed no consistent difference between the 2 purported species; therefore, C. wardae is considered a junior synonym of C. conspectus. Specimens from additional collections are consistent with this view and provided adequate material for redescription of the species. Centrorhynchus robustus n. sp. resembles C. conspectus in the number of hooks per Salient differences between the 2 species are size and body shape, with C. robustus having a robust trunk with the widest diameter anteriad and C. conspectus being elongate with no region of the trunk consistently widest. Additionally, a conspicuous posteriad swelling exhibited by females of C. conspectus is lacking in C. robustus. Centrorhynchus kuntzi is reported for the first time from Montana and Nebraska, and C. conspectus is reported for the first time from an eastern screech owl, Otus asio.
对1958年霍洛威所描述的沃德中心吻虫（Centrorhynchus wardae）以及1940年范·克利夫和普拉特所描述的概观中心吻虫（Centrorhynchus conspectus）的模式标本系列重新检查后发现，这两个所谓的物种之间没有一致的差异；因此，沃德中心吻虫被认为是概观中心吻虫的次异名。来自其他馆藏的标本与这一观点相符，并为该物种的重新描述提供了充足的材料。粗壮中心吻虫（Centrorhynchus robustus）新种在每个节片的钩数量上与概观中心吻虫相似。这两个物种之间的显著差异在于大小和体型，粗壮中心吻虫的躯干粗壮，最宽直径位于前端，而概观中心吻虫则较为细长，躯干没有始终最宽的区域。此外，概观中心吻虫的雌性所具有的明显的后端肿胀在粗壮中心吻虫中没有。首次在蒙大拿州和内布拉斯加州报道了孔氏中心吻虫（Centrorhynchus kuntzi），并且首次从东部鸣角鸮（Otus asio）中报道了概观中心吻虫。
