Nomada electa Cresson, 1863 View in CoL (ruficornis group)

Elect Nomad

Notes: Connecticut is the type locality of the male of this species, collected and deposited in the collection of E. Norton (Cresson 1863) and now presumably lost. The female lectotype is from Illinois and is deposited at ANSP. Nomada electa was later reported for Connecticut in Britton (1938), however, the voucher could not be located for reexamination. More recently, a single male was collected in northern Fairfield County in 2002. This species is expected to occur only where populations exist of its likely host Andrena braccata (Ascher et al. 2014) .
