Descriptions of new North American Hymenoptera in the collection of the American Entomological Society. Trans. Am. Entomol. Soc.7:78-79. Black, opaque; head and thorax densely and finely punctured and rather thickly clothed with short pale pubescence, tinged with yellowish on vertex and thorax above, on face and sides of thorax silvery sericeous; an emarginate line on sides of face, line beneath eyes, clypeus, labrum, base of mandibles, scape beneath, tubercles and spot beneath, yellow ; scape behind and spots on basal half of flagellum behind black; second joint of flagellum rather more than one-half the length of third; two narrow obscure stripes on mesothorax, scutellum and t?gu)a. ferruginous; scutellum subbilo bate, not prominent: wings narrowly fuscous on apical margin; legs ferrugi nous, posterior coxa and all the femora behind more or less black; abdomen smooth and shining ferruginous, basal half of first segment and spot on extreme AMERICAN HYMENOPTERA. 79 sides of the segments black ; a yellow band, more or less interrupted on middle on segments 1?6", broader and narrowed towards middle on second segment; enter ferruginous, spotted or banded with yellow. Length .40 inch. Hab.?Colorado, (Morrison). Two specimens. This may be only a variety of the preceding species. Identification Extracted from Western Bees obtained by the American Museum Expeditions by Cockerell (1921). N omada vicinalis Cresson, variety infrarubens Cockerell COLORADO: lif, Telluride, about 10,000 ft. alt., along Cornet Creek trail, July 9, 1919; 1 if, South Fork of Rio Grande between Pass and Hope Creeks, about 9300 ft. alt., June 18, 1919; 1 if, Electra Lake near Durango, about 8400 ft. alt., June 29, 1919. All of these localities are in forest regions. These agree with Cresson's description, except that the venter is ,vithout yellow, except a suffused spot near apex. The mesothorax appears wholly black, but in the Rio Grande and Telluride specimens it is possible to see a pair of very faint red lines. The scutellum has two red spots, but no yellow. The variety injrarubens was described from Oregon, but the Colorado specimens 'cannot be separated. On the other hand, I find that N. vicinalis aldrichi Cockerell, from Idaho, is distinct. Compared with aldrichi, the present insect differs by the shorter third antennal joint and the deep emargination of the black mark on first ventral segment. I think the Idaho insect must stand as N. aldrichi, a separate species. It is a comparatively large form. Extracted from: Viereck, H.I., Cockerell, T.D.A., Titus, E.S.G., Crawford J.C., Swenk M.H. (1905). Synopsis of bees of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Vancouver. The Canadian Entomologist pp. 277 - 287. Labrum very hairy; ends of linear upward prolongation of lateral face-marks slightly bending from orbits; flagellum bright red, the last joint pointed, the first five joints black above; hair of upper part of thorax (especially scutellum) strongly brownish; tubercles reddish, with a yellow spot ; tegulae, scutellum, two stripes on mesothorax, and a small mark on lower part of pleura. in front, red; first abdominal segment with basal half black, with two red marks ; yellow bands on segments one to five, broadly interrupted by red in the middle; sixth segment with a short bilobed yellow band; apical plate very hairy. The antennae remind one of N. pascoensis, but the insect is otherwise very different Names Scientific source: Discover Life bee species guide and world checklist, Ascher and Pickering.
