Protandrena bancrofti Dunning 1897 (New state record)

(Fig. 8A)

County records: Kalamazoo, St. Joseph.

Notes. A prairie-associated species at the northeastern edge of its range. A recent record of this species from New Hampshire (Tucker & Rehan 2016) is almost certainly erroneous as there are no verified records east of Michigan and Indiana. Brief notes on nests in Indiana are available (Chandler 1962).

Material examined. Kalamazoo Co.: Gull Lake Biol. Sta. (KBS), 9 Jul. 1959 (1 ♂ MSUC) ; St. Joseph Co.: White Pigeon, 14 Jun. 1959 (1 ♂ MSUC) .
