County records: Berrien, Midland, Van Buren, Wayne.
Notes. This is a cleptoparasite of multiple Macropis species likely including M. nuda (Cockerell) ( Sheffield et al. 2004) and M. ciliata Patton ( Wagner & Ascher 2008) , which in turn are specialists on Lysimachia ( Myrsinaceae , formerly Primulaceae ) ( Cane et al. 1983). Observations were lacking from its entire range for many decades ( Michener 2000), but it has been rediscovered very locally in Canada ( Sheffield et al. 2004) and in the United States in New England ( Wagner & Ascher 2008) and New York (http://bugguide.net/node/view/954741). Of the four specimens examined from Michigan, none was collected in the last 70 years.
Material examined. Berrien Co.: Paw Paw Lake, 9 Jul. 1906, E. Liljeblad (1 ♂ UMMZ) ; Midland Co.: (no locality), 23 Jul. 1928, R.R. Dreisbach (1 ♀ MSUC) ; (no locality), 24 Jun. 1944, R.R. Dreisbach (1 ♂ MSUC); Wayne Co.: Detroit , 18 Jul. 1937, G. Steyskal (1 ♀ MSUC) .
