Neolarra vigilans (Cockerell, 1895)

Counties: Washington.

Comments: Known from just a single location in Minnesota: the Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific Natural Area. Recently, Gibbs et al. (2023) reinstated N. mallochi Michener from synonymy with N. vigilans ; our specimens remain consistent with the updated species concept of N. vigilans . Its likely host is Perdita perpallida , which is active at the same time at the Grey Cloud Dunes. The likely association with P. perpallida was also noted by Gibbs et al. (2023).

Material examined: Washington Co.: Grey Cloud Dunes SNA (44.7908, -92.9577): 2 ♁ 5 ♀, 23 Jul 2018, net, J. Petersen and Z. Portman leg., determined by Z. Portman.
