Identification |
Extracted from: Cockerell (1909). New American Bees. The Entomologist vol. VIII
Length about 9 mm., thick-set, brilliant dark indigo-blue, the
hind margins of the abdominal segments concolorous and very narrowly
impunctate; legs black, without metallic tints; antennrn
entirely black. Face broad; hair of face and vertex coarse and black,
but on each side of the antennrn is a patch of white hair, recalling the appearance of O. albolate'ralis, 'which is in other respects a very different
species. Lower edge of clypeus black, slightly elevated, but not
peculiar in any way; mandibles with two pointed teeth, and a truncate
subemarginate inner one; hair of cheeks black, but a conspicuous
tuft of white hair on prothorax at sides of base of head; tubercles
with white hair, pleura with black, sides of metathorax with white;
dorsum of thorax with mixed black and white hair, the black preponderating,
except posteriorly, along hind margin of scutellum;
wings very smoky; legs with short black hair, shining brownish on
anterior and middle tarsi; abdomen with white hair on first segment
and extreme base of ·second; the other segments with short black
hail', with a few light hairs intermixed on second and third, and much
glittering white hail' on fifth; scopa and hair at sides of abdomen
black. Superficially like O. wilmattce, Okll., but distinguished by the
second s. m. more produced beyond the second r. n., the thorax above
with much more black hair, the larger ocelli and the tufts of white
hair on the face. From O. giliantm, Okll., it is known by the abundant
black hair on the thorax above, and the white hair on face.
From O. pikei, Okll., it differs by the broader, deep blue face, &c.
Hab. Northern Colorado, in the region near the foothills,
either in the vicinity of Boulder or Loveland (Clarence De Voss).
