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.

This name is based on a single male from an unknown locality in Nevada. Although the type should be in the collections of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, it is apparently lost or destroyed. If the type cannot be found, it seems best to drop the name altogether since the spec;es cannot be determined from the original description alone. The present assignment to the subgenus Paraprosopis is also tentative.
