Sphecodes nigricorpus Mitchell, 1956: 220 View in CoL (Connecticut holotype).
Holotype. Male USA: Connecticut: Litchfield Co.: Colebrook , 3 August 1922, W.M. Wheeler ( MCZ).
Notes: The holotype for this species lacks appressed tomentum on the face, with facial hairs simple and erect, and with overall scant pubescence and weak punctation, resembling the female of S. smilacinae (M. Arduser pers. comm.). Interestingly, Gibbs et al. (2023) also suggest male S. nigricorpus may be associated with the female of S. smilacinae . Sphecodes nigricorpus was recently discovered in Michigan in 2021 during a survey of bees in
Lakeplain Prairie and Prairie Fen natural communities by Rowe et al. (2022), and in Minnesota at Two Rivers Aspen Parkland Scientific and Natural Areas in 2021 (Portman et al. 2023).
