Overview
Reprinted from: Snelling, R. 1970. STUDIES ON NORTH AMERICAN BEES OF THE GENUS HYLAEUS. 5. THE SUBGENERA HYLAEUS. S. STR. AND PARAPROSOPIS (HYMENOPTERA: COLLETIDAE) Contributions in Science, No. 180.

The female of this species is easily recognized by its complete pronotal macula and the elongate apical mandibular tooth. This tooth is subject to wear, however, and in older individuals may not be noticeably elongate. The male is very similar to that of H. asininus but may be separated by the finely and sparsely punctate first tergite, the head about as broad as long (broader than long in H. asininus) and by the gradually, rather than abruptly, depressed apico-Iateral portion of the second tergite.
