Identification
Extracted from: Roberts, 1973. Bees of Northwestern America: AGAPOSTEMON. Agricultural Experimental Station. Oregon State University.

Synonymy: Andrena virescens Fabricius, 1775; Andrena nigricornis
Fabricius, 1793; Halictus dimidiatus Lepeletier, 1841; Halictus tricolor Lepeletier, 1841; Agapostemon bicolor Robertson, 1893.

Diagnosis. The male of this species has a bright metallic green head and thorax, and a metasoma banded with black and yellow. It may be distinguished from males of A. coloradinus by the absence of a long brown or black streak on the posterior surface of its hind femur. The male of A. virescens may be distinguished from those of A. femoratus, A. melliventris, A. texanus, and A. angelicus by the depression and medial ridge on the apical half of its last visible (sixth) metasomal sternum (Fig. 9). The female of this species has a bright metallic green head and thorax, and a black metasoma banded with short, dense, white hair. The female of A. virescens may be distinguished from females of A. coloradinus by its hyaline wings, coarse genal striae (2-3 per 0.25 min) (Figs. 10, 11) and largely yellow mandibles. It may be distinguished from those females of A. melliventris having black metasoma by the lack of yellow on its clypeus.

Distribution. This species is common in the northern United States

and southern Canada where it occurs from coast to coast (Fig. 19). It

occurs as far south as the Gulf Coast but is rare in that region.

Biology. Little has been published on the biology of this species. Felt (1928) reported a large nesting aggregation of A. virescens (given as Halictus virescens) damaging a lawn in Catskill, New York. W. P. Stephen (pers. comm.) has seen a nesting aggregation in a lawn in Corvallis, Oregon, and D. H. Janzen (pers. comm.) reports numerous nests in a field near Eugene, Oregon. Thus, it seems that A. virescens is usually, if not always, aggregatory in its nesting habits.

G. C. Eickwort, W. E. LaBerge, and \V. P. Stephen (pers. comm.)

also have observed more than one female per nest. In addition to multiple occupancy of a single burrow, N1'. P. Stephen reports that A. virescens females, which seemed to be in a state of diapause, shared their burrow with bees of the parasitic genus Sphecodes which also seemed to be in diapause. On August 5-7 a nest of A. virescens was observed and excavated by the author in Moscow, Idaho (Fig. 20). According to Dr. NV. F. Barr, in whose garden the nests were situated, there had been a small aggregation of active nests earlier in the summer but by August 5 only two nests were still open. One day was spent observing the nest entrances. In late morning and

early afternoon two males and two females left each burrow, returning

from one to three hours later. During their absence other females occasionally appeared in the burrow entrances. Their action could hardly be considered "guarding" because the slightest movement, even the passage of a butterfly, was enough to cause their disappearance for as long as an hour. In no other species of Agapostemon are males known to return to occupied burrows once they have emerged.

Plateaux-Quenu (1959) reports that females of Lasioglossum marginatum

(given as Halictus marginatus) occupy their own nests during

the spring. During the summer the nest entrances are closed but in the

fall males emerge from the nests, forage, and return to the nests to mate with the females. The males then die but the females overwinter in the nests. Perhaps a similar phenomenon occurs in A. virescens.

Before excavation, the burrows were filled with plastic.' The result

was a tough, permanent, transparent replica of the burrow system. In

these respects, the use of plastic is far more satisfactory than the commonly employed plaster of Paris method.

One of the two active A. virescens nests had no tumulus or turret but the other had a small turret 4 mm high with walls 3 mm thick. This turret probably was the consolidated remnant of a much larger tumulus which had been destroyed by wind. The branched main burrow was 7 - 8 mm in diameter and the laterals (not illustrated) were about 5.3 mm. There was no discernible constriction of the nest entrance, but some of the branch burrows were slightly constricted where they joined the main burrow. Owing to the complexity of the nest and its proximity to other nests, it was nearly impossible to trace the earth-filled laterals back to the main burrows, but most of the cells were several centimeters from the main burrows. Thus it seems that in the construction of laterals much longer than the lengths of the cells, A. virescens is similar to other species of Agapostemon.

During excavation, numerous adults were found in a state of torpor

in their natal cells. In other Agapostemon species the adults emerge from their natal cells within 48 hours after their final molt. Many cells were uncovered in the course of excavation and the contents of 158 were pre served-69 were female pupae and adults, 57 male pupae and adults, and 32 were late instar larvae or prepupae.

Especially noteworthy was the occurrence of linear pairs of cells at the ends of many of the laterals. In each of the 12 pairs examined (many others were accidentally destroyed in the course of excavation), the distal cell always contained a female and the proximal cell a male. One lateral pre-contained two male cells and a distal female cell. Related genera such as Ruizantheda (but never the genera allied to Halictus or Augochlora ) construct long strings of linearly arranged cells. Daly and Wille (in Sakagami and Michener, 1962), describe a nest of A. nasutus in which only linear pairs of cells were found. As in A. virescens, the distal cell always contained a female and the proximal cell a male. In extensive observations of A. nasutus, Eickwort and Eickwort did not find such linear pairs of cells. Perhaps the construction of cell pairs is facultative in A. nasutus as it seems to be in A. virescens. But for the paired cells and the presence of males, the A. virescens nest excavated was similar to those of A. nasutus described by Eickwort and Eickwort (1969) in that it had many main branches occupied by many bees. As none of the A. virescens females were reproductively active at the time the nest was excavated, it was not determined whether this species is social or, more likely, merely communal like A. nasutus.

The synonymy of Andrena nigricornis Fabricius and Halictus dimidiatus

Lepeletier with Andrena virescens Fabricius is based on their descriptions. C. D. Michener examined the type of A. virescens in the British Museum. G. C. Eickwort examined the type of Agapostemon bicolor in Urbana, Illinois, and confirmed Robertson's synonymy (1895) of this species with irescens. 1 have examined the type of hi. tricolor and it is a synonym of A. virescens, not A. radiatus as stated by Sandhouse (1936).

Van der Vecht (1959) suggests that Apis sericea Forster (1771) may be

a senior synonym of A. virescens, but the description given by Forster does not warrant such a conclusion (cf . Nomina Dubia) .

Distribution (Fig. 30). Specimens have been collected as far east as

Penobscot Co. in central Maine; as far west as Coos Co. on the Oregon

Coast; as far south as Hernando Co. on the central western coast of Florida; and as far north as Vernon, British Columbia. This distribution is unusual inasmuch as it is wide, ranging from coast to coast, yet this species is com mon only from about 37 to 47 North latitude. In the northwestern part of the range (British Columbia and Alberta) males have been collected from August through October, and females from April through August and in October. In the central part of the range (Nebraska) males have been collected from July through October, and females from May through October. In the southeastern part of the range (Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia) males have been collected from June through September and in November, and females from May through August and in October. Although A. virescens occurs primarily at elevations of less than 2,000 ft

(610 m), I have seen specimens from as high as 4,000 ft. (1,219 m) on

Middle Mountain, Virginia; 6,900 ft. (2,103 m) near Boulder, Colorado; and 7,000 ft. (2,134 m) near Salt Lake City, Utah.

Diagnosis. The male may be distinguished from many other North American species by the lack of yellow maculations on its brown to brown-black sterna 5-6, by its medial ridge on the apical ! /2 of sternum 6 (last visible sternum), and by its gonostylus (Fig. 183); from A. coloradinus and A. tyleri by the restriction of brown to brown-black areas on the posterior

surface of its hind leg to basal and apical regions of femur and tibia, and by its lack of a prominent dorsal crest on its penis valve. The females may be distinguished from other species occurring north of Mexico by its black metasomal terga and the lack of yellow on its clypeus; from females of A. coloradinus and A. tyleri by the coarser carinae on its gena (2-3 per 0.25 mm in A. virescens, 5-6 per 0.25 mm in A. coloradinus and A. tyleri), and its largely yellow mandibles (amber to brown in A. coloradinus and dark brown in A. tyleri).
