Rampion Scissor Bee

Notes: This exotic species is associated with bellflower ( Campanula ) (Falk & Lewington 2015) and is best known in the United States from Central New York State, only recently detected in Connecticut. Delphia (2023) reports a range expansion for C. rapunculi and C. campanularum in Montana. These are the first records for both species in the Western United States.
