status

 

Sphecodes clematidis Robertson, 1897 View in CoL ( dichrous group)

Clematis Blood Bee

Notes: This species is reported for Connecticut in Mitchell (1960) and is likely under-recorded due to identification challenges with its congener Sphecodes prosphorus Lovell and Cockerell ( Veit et al. 2022[“2021”]). There are six putative specimens of this species collected in 1968 in Litchfield County in Connecticut that are deposited at UCFC, identified by S. M. Fullerton, and two additional female specimens that were bowl trapped in a sandy location at the CAES research station in Griswold ( New London County ) between 10–24 June 2015, tentatively identified by T. A. Zarrillo and M.F. Veit .
