Re-described from hypotypes. Queen, St. Paul, Minnesota], May 1, 1939, R. Dawson H. Milliron; worker, Columbus, 0hio], Aug. 13, 1947, H. E. Milliron; male, Hocking County], Salt Creek Township, Ohio, Aug. 26, 1945, Edward S. Thomas [all HEM]. ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ COMMENTS: Evidently this is the most constant species of the genus Bombus (s.s.) in the Western Hemisphere. The queen appears chromatically most often as re-described here, except that sometimes an indefinite black interalar band is often apparent, and on many specimens a conspicuous circular black patch occurs on the mesothoracic disc; abdominal T2 is usually entirely yellow but on some specimens the proximal two-thirds is of a dull burnt sienna, as on many workers; it is uncommon for the queen to show any rusty or coppery red on any of the normally entirely black abdominal T3-5.1 have not seen a melanic of this species. In this connection, the queen with abdominal T2 entirely black, save for a sprinkling of yellow at extreme base, reported by Bequaert and Plath (1925: 279) as belonging to this species, could not be located by me despite an intensive search for it at Cambridge, Mass., or elsewhere, and it is highly probable that a misidentification was involved, this specimen being more likely a queen of Pyrobombus (P.) impatiens (Cr.), an adventive into the affinis nest whose "entire" collection was reported upon (loc. cit.). The worker and male often have an indefinite interalar black band (widest medially), and as often none at all. The so-called variety novaeangliae described by Bequaert (1920: 6) refers to worker and male specimens which display a varying amount of rusty or coppery red pile on abdominal T2-5 (female) and less commonly on T2-6 in the male. The reddish pubescence, when evident on any specimen, will be noted on abdominal T4 foremost in specimens of all castes; but, the amount of such off-color is extremely variable on any abdominal tergum beyond T2, and also as to the number of terga so affected between T3-5 in the female and T3-6 in the male. The occurrence of rusty or coppery red pubescence in varying amounts on abdominal T2 or 3-6 (female) or on normally, or for the most part, all black T2 or 3-7 (male) is nothing unusual; for example, I cite similar conditions in specimens of Megabombus (M.) atratus (Fkln.), Megabombus (B.) griseocollis (De G.), Pyrobombus (P.) impatiens (Cr.), Pyrobombus (P.) bimaculatus (Cr.), Pyrobombus (P.) vagans (Sm.), and others (c/. each). Chromatic aberrations relating to pubescence are common and likely the results of deficient (abnormal) immature physiological development in every case, except in instances where the existing gene pool of a species normally promotes variability in accord with different environmental conditions in the range, or even within varying conditions in the nest of known variable species. The publications of Bequaert (19206: 6-7), Bequaert and Plath (1925: 278-280) pertaining to the chromatic aberration "novaeangliae" are most confounding in respect to the "type" series; when this published information was critically compared by me with the "type" material available in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., I sensed inexcusable discrepancies between "types" and published information. Apparently, the "types" were labeled at some time subsequent to the publication of the above papers, and without serious attempt to bring labeling of such specimens and published information into accord. Bequaert (19206: 6) whose original description of novaeangliae referred to both workers and males indicated on the following page that the holotype is a male from Forest Hills, Mass., on this same latter page (part of Bequaert's second variational category) two males (June 1911, W. M. Wheeler) are referred to, one presumably the holotype. I found no such male conforming with these data in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, and concluded that a mistake in the sex of the holotype had been made. A worker labeled as type and conforming as near as could be judged with the description and collecting data (Forest Hills, Mass., June 1911, W. M. Wheeler) was, therefore, labeled by me as the lectotype, 1960. While "novaeangliae" is given no nomenclatorial status here, this discussion of the confusion with regard to a type is warranted; and, intended to prevent additional misunderstanding of the common chromatic aberrations that occur in this and other species of bumblebees. No significant morphological variations have been detected in any caste of this species. Length of workers ranges from about 8.0 mm to slightly more than that given in the redescription. ‎
