Broad-faced Masked Bee
Notes: Hylaeus sparsus is generally a rare bee in collections for unknown reasons, but it has been recorded in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York City, visiting Apiaceae (J. S. Ascher, unpublished). There are four records for this species in Connecticut, with the most recent (n = 2) collected in a powerline ROW and a woodland.
