Overview |
Reprinted from: Cockerell,T.A. 1910. Some bees of the genus Nomada from Washington state. Psyche. 17:92
Length about 9 mm.; black and bright lemon yellow; the anterior coxe
with long spines; third antennal joint much longer than fourth; b. n.
meeting t. m. Almost exactly like 2V. suavis Cresson, and possibly
only a race or variety, but having the following distinctive characters:
Scape swollen; lateral face-marks broader above; no black between
lateral and supraclypeal marks; second s. m. narrower, receiving the
first r. n. at its middle; yellow patch on pleura very large (fully
twice as large as in suavis); legs seen from in front entirely yellow,
anterior and middle femora with a black band behind, middle tibiae
with a black mark behind, hind femora almost entirely black behind,
their tibiae with a large black longitudinal band; last joint of hind
tarsi bright ferruginous; apical plate of abdomen strongll and sharply
notched (entire in suavis). N. suavis has been referred (Canad.
Entom., 1905, p. 83) to Holonomada, but it belongs with the new
species in the subgenus Micronomada. Both have in the male a pair
of large yellow patches on the metathorax; Cresson�s supposed male
of N. suavis, without these marks, was probably N. formula Viereck.
