Smithsonian Institution, Entomology Department · 9 Hylaeus maritimus, male, top 2 thumbnails  •  slide show 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 rare species appears to be largely restricted to the coastal sand dunes of central California. The two females taken by Timberlake at Mt. Pinos are the only exceptions, and it is difficult to explain the presence of H. maritimus in that area. Both sexes of this species, which is closely related to H. conspicuus, may be readily recognized by the characters given in the key.
