Natural history | |
Parker (1960) pointed out the validity of Provancher’s species. Bohart has studied the type of excisus Kohl. There is a close relationship to parkeri, but the male genitalia and antennae are diagnostic. Females are difficult to separate, but canadensis females have more weakly developed appressed pubescence on the thorax (see discussion under parkeri).
