Notes. Trap-nests described from Wisconsin ( Medler 1965; Medler & Lussenhop 1968), Kansas and North Carolina ( Baker et al. 1985), and New York, Maryland, North Carolina and Florida ( Krombein 1967). Nesting in an old log in Missouri reported by Rau (1922). There is a published record of M. mendica nesting in the ground in Texas ( Williams et al. 1986), but this cannot be confirmed. The presumed depository at Texas A&M does not have any material matching the paper (K. Wright, in litt.).
