A new vernal species of Hesperapis from the lower Midwestern United States (Hymenoptera: Melittidae)
Keyword(s):
A new species of vernal Hesperapis Cockerell (Melittidae: Dasypodainae: Hesperapini) is described and figured from localities spanning Texas, Oklahoma, and southern Kansas in the United States. Hesperapis (Carinapis) infuscata Engel & Michez, new species, is distinguished from its relatives in subgenus Carinapis Stage and particularly the carinata species group, to which it belongs. The species is most notable for the apically infuscate wings and is possibly specialized (broadly oligolectic) on Gaillardia Foug., Helianthus L., Ratibida Raf., and Rudbeckia L. (Asteraceae).
