Females of Lasioglossum absimile can be distinguished from similar species in the L. viridatum species complex defined in Gibbs (2010), especially L. pacatum (Sandhouse, 1924), L. admirandum (Sandhouse, 1924), L. sagax (Sandhouse, 1924), and L. ephialtum Gibbs, 2010, by the combination of mesepisternum very smooth and imbricate to tessellate (rugulose dorsally in L. admirandum, L. ephialtum, and L. sagax), mesoscutum shiny except sometimes dull anteromedially (dull tessellate except sometimes shiny posteriorly in L. admirandum, L. pacatum, and L. sagax), head short (head length/width ratio = 0.93; face length/width ratio = 0.79) (usually longer (length/width ratio = 0.94–1.01) in L. admirandum, L. ephialtum, and L. sagax), T1 disc very sparsely punctate (IS = 2–6 PD medially) (more densely punctate medially (IS = 1–2 PD) in L. admirandum), and T2–T4 with abundant tomentum and dense apical fringes (less extensive tomentum and weaker apical fringes in L. ephialtum and L. pacatum).</p><p>Comments. Lasioglossum absimile is included based on material from Manitoba and British Columbia, Canada. Due to taxonomic difficulties in the L. viridatum species complex, the identification of these specimens is tentative, pending a more thorough revision of this species complex. It is included here on a preliminary basis because some specimens are liable to cause confusion otherwise.</p><p>Lasioglossum absimile is very similar to Lasioglossum caducum (Sandhouse, 1924), described from New Mexico, and diagnostic characters distinguishing the two are not yet known.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F879350530401A2E08B62FBD4C8A3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Gibbs (2011) described L. ascheri and L. curculum each from two females. They are remarkably similar but differ in the absence and presence of a preapical mandibular tooth, respectively. A series of two females with and two without a preapical tooth on the mandible were examined from four sites within a 5.5-km radius in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada in 2011. It seems unlikely that two such rare species would occur together so near to the same place and time. No other known morphological characters separate the two putative species except the length of the branches of the inner metatibial spur, which is extremely subtle and may also be variable. No DNA barcodes are available for either species. With the lack of geographic separation and dubious utility of morphology, there is no longer sufficient evidence to support a two-species hypothesis. Lasioglossum ascheri is chosen as the valid name in the absence of publication priority.</p><p>Lasioglossum ascheri is a newly confirmed record for Canada. The four specimens examined were included in a Master’ s thesis by Nardone (2013) as L. cf. ascheri and are now deposited in WRME.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F879350550401A2E08CF8FF62CD21	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Lasioglossum cephalotes has not been confirmed for Canada, but is believed to be a parasite of L. zephyrus (Smith, 1853) (Robertson 1926), a relatively common species in Canada. Lasioglossum cephalotes was recorded from southern Ontario (MacKay and Knerer 1979), but the specimens were re-examined and identified as L. lionotus (Sandhouse, 1924) (Gibbs 2010, 2011).

Lasioglossum furunculum is a rare parasite, described from a single female collected in Massachusetts and later recorded from the Niagara region of Ontario (Onuferko et al. 2015). It appears closely related to L. izawsum Gibbs, 2011, another rare parasite, and the names may represent variation within a single species (Gibbs 2011).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F879350550401A2E08873FC39CCD7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Males of L. helianthi can be recognised by the combination of tegula enlarged (reaching but not exceeding posterior margin of mesoscutum in dorsal view), with inner posterior margin weakly concave, coming to a narrow point posteriorly, and usually densely punctate (IS ≤ 1 PD); mesoscutum densely punctate (IS ≤ 1 PD) especially laterad of parapsidal line (IS &lt;0.5 PD); metapostnotum shiny with strong anastomosing rugae; and discs of T1–T2 deeply and densely punctate in basal half (IS ≤ 1 PD). They are most similar to L. tegulariforme and L. ellisiae . Males of L. tegulariforme have the tegula larger (clearly exceeding posterior margin of mesoscutum in dorsal view) with a broadly rounded projection posteriorly, and discs of T1–T2 (especially T1 medially) more sparsely punctate (IS = 1–3 PD). Males of L. ellisiae have the metapostnotum with parallel or subparallel rugae and are also found east of the Rocky Mountains and therefore are very unlikely to occur sympatrically with L. helianthi .</p><p>Comments. Lasioglossum helianthi is herein resurrected from synonymy with L. tegulariforme (Crawford, 1907), and L. imbrex Gibbs, 2010 is considered a junior subjective synonym (see comments on L. tegulariforme for details).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F879350540403A2FF884FFDCDCF81	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Females of Lasioglossum immigrans can be recognised by the combination of acarinarial fan present but extremely weakly developed (composed of only a few sparse suberect hairs; Fig. 5A), propodeum with strong oblique carina, mesoscutum and mesepisternum coarsely and densely punctate (IS &lt;1 PD in large part), frons punctures much smaller and denser than paraocular area punctures, and T1 dorsal surface moderately densely and distinctly punctate (IS = 1–2 PD). They are most similar to L. comulum Michener, 1951, L. dispersum Gibbs, 2018, L. strigosigena Michener, 1954, and a complex of several undescribed species from Mexico. Females of all but one of these species have the acarinarial fan well-developed with dense appressed hairs (Fig. 5B). The only known species with the acarinarial fan weakly developed as in L. immigrans is an undescribed Neotropical species from Veracruz, Mexico; this species has the frons punctures as large and dense as the paraocular area punctures. In addition, females of L. comulum have the T1 dorsal surface more finely and sparsely punctate (IS = 1–3 PD). In Canada, female L. immigrans may be confused with L. rufulipes and L. knereri . Females of L. rufulipes have the mesosoma punctures finer and sparser (IS = 1–2 PD) and no acarinarial fan (T1 anterior surface with evenly distributed erect hairs). Females of L. knereri have the propodeum lacking an oblique carina and have a well-developed acarinarial fan with dense appressed hairs (although often worn).</p><p>Males of Lasioglossum immigrans can be recognised by the face with very sparse tomentum not obscuring the surface, T1 anterior surface with no appressed hairs, depressed apical rims of metasomal terga usually punctate basally, mesoscutum and mesepisternum very coarsely and densely punctate (IS = 0 PD in large part, sparser (IS = 1–2 PD) on mesoscutum medially), propodeum lateral surface and often dorsolateral slope shiny and distinctly punctate, and integument blue on head and mesosoma, otherwise black to dark brown including tarsi and ventral surface of antennae. They are most similar to L. dispersum and a complex of several undescribed species from Mexico. They are probably also similar to L. comulum and L. strigosigena, although males of these species have not been definitively associated with females. Males of these similar species have the T1 anterior surface with at least a few appressed hairs (resembling the acarinarial fan of female L. immigrans), mesoscutum more sparsely punctate, and/or depressed apical rims of metasomal terga impunctate. In Canada, male L. immigrans are most similar to L. punctatoventre, which have the propodeum lateral surface and dorsolateral slope rugulose.</p><p>Description</p><p>Female.

The specific epithet immigrans is a Latin present participle meaning “migrating”. It refers to the disjunct population in Manitoba, Canada and its occurrence in three countries. It is meant to honour the diverse human immigrants and refugees who come to Canada and the United States of America from other nations and contribute to a stronger society.</p><p>Range. Mountains from Utah, United States of American to Oaxaca, Mexico, with disjunct records in Manitoba, Canada and Acapulco, Mexico (Fig. 10A).</p><p>Floral hosts. Broadly polylectic (Supplementary material, Table S2).</p><p>DNA barcodes. 17 sequences available (BOLD process IDs: BBHYG462-10, DIAL1164-07, DIAL1165-07, DIAL1167-07, DIAL1168-07, DLII546-07, DLII789-07, DLII791-07, DLII843- 07, DLII844-07, DLII845-07, DLII976-07, DLII978-07, DLII1267-08, DLII1332-08, DLIII097- 18, HYMBB815-09). A very small amount of divergence occurs among these sequences (maximum P -distance 0.31%). The nearest known neighbour is L. dispersum Gibbs, 2018 from Puerto Rico. The minimum P -distance to L. dispersum is 3.06% and to the morphologically similar L. comulum is 4.69%.</p><p>Comments. Common in the southwestern United States of America and Mexico; rare in Canada. Lasioglossum immigrans has been frequently confused with L. comulum in collections. The true L. comulum is comparatively rare in the United States of America but may be more common in Mexico.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F879350560409A2FF8B50FEFACF48	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Males of L. obnubilum can be recognised by the combination of their small size (body length 4–4.5 mm; ITD ∼ 0.7 mm), face relatively long (length/width ratio ∼ 0.93), mesepisternum and central mesoscutum finely and moderately densely punctate (IS = 1–2 PD), propodeum relatively smooth with weak rugae, metasomal sterna with very short, sparse, thin hair, face with dense tomentum limited to paraocular area and upper clypeus, clypeus apical margin, flagellum, legs, tegula, and wings all dark brown, and head and mesosoma blue–green to olive green. They are most similar to an undescribed species that occurs at lower elevations in the southern United States of America. This species has the mesepisternum and mesoscutum more coarsely and densely punctate (IS &lt;1 PD), face covered in dense tomentum below eye emargination, and head and mesosoma blue to blue–green. They are also somewhat similar to L. brunneiventre and L. macroprosopum . Both of these species have very long, dense, plumose hair on the metasomal sterna, the flagellum ventral surface and tarsi orange, and a more western distribution not including the Rocky Mountains.</p><p>Comments. Lasioglossum obnubilum was described from the male only (Sandhouse 1924). There have been no published records of this species outside of Colorado, United States of America. Lasioglossum lilliputense was described based on morphology and DNA barcode data from female specimens collected in British Columbia, Canada and Idaho and Montana, United States of America (Gibbs 2010). It was suggested at the time of its description that L. lilliputense could be the female of L. obnubilum . Examination of additional material, including males and females of L. obnubilum from the same locality, confirms this interpretation.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F8793505C040BA2FF88DAFB39CA7B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Lasioglossum cyanurus (Cockerell, 1936), L. ebmerellum Gibbs, 2010, L. marinum (Crawford, 1904), L. megastictum (Cockerell, 1937), L. onuferkoi n. sp., L. perdifficile (Cockerell, 1895), L. perpunctatum (Ellis, 1913), L. sheffieldi Gibbs, 2010, and L. yukonae Gibbs, 2010 (possibly L. sombrerense Engel, 2011).</p><p>Diagnosis. The Lasioglossum perdifficile complex can be recognised in both sexes by the combination of clypeus strongly projecting below the suborbital tangent, tegula inner posterior margin straight or concave (sometimes weak or obscure, especially when the tegula is folded close to the thorax), metapostnotum relatively long (median length about twice that of metanotum in dorsal view, except in L. cyanurus, L. marinum, and L. megastictum, in which the tegula is punctate) with strong anastomosing rugae reaching the posterior margin (except in L. ebmerellum), and the propodeum with oblique carina absent or very weak (hardly visible). In addition, females have T1 with appressed tomentum laterally joining the acarinarial fan.</p><p>Comments. Lasioglossum punctiferellum (Cockerell, 1937) (= Halictus (Chloralictus) punctiferellus Cockerell, 1937) is herein treated as a subjective synonym of L. megastictum (new synonymy). The holotypes of these two species were collected at the same time and place, and they differ only in minor respects. The holotype of L. punctiferellum has less distinct punctures of the clypeus and mesepisternum, shinier supraclypeal area, and slightly sparser tomentum on T2–T4. Cockerell (1937) also wrote that L. megastictum has T1 and T4 slightly metallic green, but this character was not evident on re-examination of the type material. However, the holotype of L. punctiferellum has all metasomal terga with a very weak metallic bluish sheen, so it is likely that some specimens can occasionally have the terga weakly metallic. No specimens have been seen that exactly match the type of L. punctiferellum, but numerous intermediates exist. The holotype of L. megastictum is more typical of the species in general, and it is therefore given precedence in the absence of publication priority.</p><p>Many species in the L. perdifficile complex are known to be sand-habitat specialists ( L. sheffieldi and L. yukonae (Gibbs 2010); L. marinum (Gibbs 2011); L. onuferkoi n. sp.

Both sexes of L. onuferkoi can be distinguished from other members of the L. perdifficile complex by the combination of face very long (length/width ratio ∼ 0.91) (Figs. 9A, G) (&lt;0.85 in all other species except L. ebmerellum) (Figs. 9B, H), mesepisternum shiny and finely and densely punctate (IS &lt;1 PD) (dull and impunctate in L. yukonae), tegula subovoid with small straight inner posterior margin (Fig. 9C) (more oblong with longer straight or concave inner posterior margin in all other species except L. ebmerellum (Fig. 9D)), metapostnotum with strong anastomosing rugae reaching posterior margin (Fig. 9E) (rugae not reaching margin in L. ebmerellum (Fig. 9F)), and wings hyaline with white hairs (subhyaline with dark hairs in all other species except L. marinum). In addition, the female has T3 completely covered in dense tomentum (tomentum sparse or absent medially in all other species except L. ebmerellum and L. perpunctatum), and the male has the face covered in dense tomentum except for the clypeus apical half (Fig. 9G) (dense tomentum limited to paraocular area in all other species except L. marinum (Fig. 9H)) and the mesoscutum with long, woolly, densely plumose hair (Fig. 9I) (mesoscutum with shorter and thinner hair in all other species (Fig. 9J)). Lasioglossum onuferkoi is also similar to L. pruinosum . Both sexes of L. pruinosum have the mesepisternum rugulose and indistinctly punctate and the metasomal terga metallic blue–green (black in L. onuferkoi), and males have the clypeus apical margin yellow (black in L. onuferkoi). The only one of these similar species known to occur sympatrically with L. onuferkoi is L. pruinosum .</p><p>Description</p><p>Female.

Males of L. reasbeckae can be recognised by the combination of mesosoma shiny with large, coarse punctures, basal margins of T2–T3 strongly depressed, clypeus apical half black or brown and becoming brassy in basal half, and metasomal terga with discs sparsely punctate (IS = 1–4 PD) and apical rims entirely impunctate. They are most similar to L. dashwoodi and L. punctatoventre . Males of L. dashwoodi have the metasomal terga metallic blue–green. Males of L. punctatoventre have the metasomal terga densely punctate (IS = 0.5–2 PD) including the apical rims in part. All of these species occur sympatrically in British Columbia, Canada and Washington, United States of America, but only L. punctatoventre and L. reasbeckae are known from Oregon and western California, United States of America, and only L. dashwoodi is known from east of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges, United States of America.</p><p>Comments. Gibbs (2010) described and diagnosed the female of L. reasbeckae, but the male was unknown. A series of males at UCRC were associated with some females of L. reasbeckae by morphology and geographical co-occurrence. It is now evident that L. reasbeckae is more common at relatively high elevations and ranges as far south as the San Bernardino Mountains in California, United States of America, whereas the similar and closely related L. punctatoventre is more common at lower elevations.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F879350470413A2E08F2BFD86CD64	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The correct usage of L. cephalotes was subsequently determined, and L. rozeni was described as new (Gibbs 2011). Lasioglossum rozeni has not yet been recorded from Canada, but it is known from adjacent states. It is included in the key because its distribution suggests that it may occur in southern Ontario. It frequently co-occurs with L. versatum (Robertson, 1902) .

Females of L. stictaspis can be recognised by the combination of tegula enlarged (reaching posterior margin of mesoscutum in dorsal view), with inner posterior margin concave, and densely punctate in centre (IS ≤ 1 PD), metapostnotum dull due to tessellate microsculpture and usually with weak subparallel rugae, mesepisternum shiny (sometimes with weak microsculpture) and densely punctate (IS &lt;1 PD), mesoscutum coarsely punctate (2–4 punctures between posterior end of parapsidal line and lateral edge of mesoscutum), T3 with dense subapical band of tomentum, and tegula and metasoma black to dark brown. They are most similar to L. ellisiae and several undescribed species from the southwestern United States of America and Mexico. Females of L. ellisiae have the metapostnotum shiny with strong, often anastomosing rugae, mesoscutum usually densely punctate (4–5 punctures between posterior end of parapsidal line and lateral edge of mesoscutum), tegula often more sparsely punctate (IS ≤ 2 PD), T3 usually without subapical tomentum, and tegula and/or metasoma sometimes orange.</p><p>Males of L. stictaspis can be recognised by the tegula densely punctate (IS ≤ 1 PD), relatively large (slightly exceeding posterior margin of mesoscutum in dorsal view), and inner posterior margin concave, with a small rounded projection posteriorly, mesoscutum relatively sparsely punctate (IS ≤ 1 PD near parapsidal line), mesepisternum densely punctate (IS &lt;1 PD), metapostnotum dull due to tessellate microsculpture and usually with weak subparallel rugae, and T1–T3 with dense punctures reaching premarginal line (IS ≤ 1 PD). They are most similar to L. tegulare, L. ellisiae, and L. helianthi . All of these species have the tegula slightly smaller (not exceeding posterior margin of mesoscutum in dorsal view), inner posterior margin more weakly concave, coming to a narrow point or blunt angle posteriorly, and usually more sparsely punctate in part (IS ≥ 1 PD). Males of L. tegulare and L. ellisiae have the metapostnotum shiny with stronger parallel rugae. Males of L. ellisiae and L. helianthi have the mesoscutum slightly more densely punctate (IS &lt;1 PD and IS &lt;0.5 PD near parapsidal line, respectively) and tegula often slightly more sparsely punctate (IS ≤ 1 PD). Males of L. ellisiae also have T1–T3 with punctures becoming sparser towards the premarginal line.</p><p>Some other species (described and undescribed) from the southwestern United States of America and Mexico are also similar but do not occur sympatrically except in southern New Mexico, United States of America and, in one case, as far north as Colorado, United States of America, and will lack one or more of the diagnostic characters given above. These species will be revised in a forthcoming work.</p><p>Range. Western Great Plains and mountain valleys from New Mexico, United States of America to Alberta, Canada (Fig. 17A).</p><p>Floral hosts. Polylectic (Supplementary material, Table S2).</p><p>DNA barcodes. Three sequences available (BOLD process IDs: DLIII224-20, DLIII225-20, DLIII227-20). These sequences are very similar and poorly distinguished from three other undescribed species (maximum intraspecific P -distance 0.3%; minimum interspecific P -distance 0.64%).</p><p>Comments. The name Lasioglossum stictaspis has not been widely applied in the past because the primary diagnostic characters used for this species were the enlarged, punctate tegula and the presence of only two submarginal cells in the forewing (Sandhouse 1923). The number of submarginal cells is known to be variable in many bees including several L. ( Dialictus) species (Gardner and Gibbs 2020; Scarpulla 2018), although this variation is typically rare. Among the specimens reported here, only one additional male from Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States of America was discovered with two submarginal cells. All other specimens have the usual three submarginal cells.</p><p>Many other species with an enlarged, punctate tegula can also have only two submarginal cells in rare cases, including L. gaudiale (Sandhouse, 1924) (new combination, see comments on L. tegulariforme below) and several undescribed species. In addition, the holotype of L. stictaspis is missing the head, limiting the number of visible alternative characters. As a result, the few specimens determined as L. stictaspis prior to this work are likely misidentified.</p><p>The female of L. stictaspis was associated by a series of both sexes from the same collecting event in Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States of America (very near the type locality), and a series of both sexes from Boulder County, Colorado, United States of America, from which DNA barcodes were obtained. The female was found to match the holotype of L. albuquerquense . This holotype is missing the metasoma, but an additional series of females in good condition from the type locality of Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States of America helped confirm the synonymy.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F87935046041EA2FF8878FDC2CC10	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Females of L. tegulariforme can be recognised by the combination of T1 with at least a narrow impunctate median line (often broader) (T1 evenly punctate throughout in all other known species), paraocular area punctures similar in size and density to frons punctures (paraocular area punctures larger and coarser in other Canadian species), T3 densely clothed in short, simple, yellow hairs in addition to basolateral tomentum (T3 with sparser, whiter hairs in other Canadian species, except tomentose in L. helianthi), tegula very large (clearly exceeding posterior margin of mesoscutum in dorsal view) and densely punctate with few or no interspaces up to 1 PD (tegula not exceeding posterior margin of mesoscutum in dorsal view and with many interspaces 1 PD or more in other Canadian species except L. stictaspis), and T1 anterior slope usually with weak microsculpture (T1 shiny in L. gaudiale and strongly coriarious in other Canadian species).</p><p>Males of L. tegulariforme can be recognised by the combination of T1 at least slightly more sparsely punctate medially (IS = 2–6 PD) than laterally (IS = 1–3 PD) (T1 evenly punctate throughout in all other known species), metasomal terga with basolateral tomentum very sparse or absent (T2–T3 with distinct basolateral tomentum in L. gaudiale), face with tomentum dense below eye emargination and absent above (face with dense tomentum below median ocellus in L. gaudiale and some other species), tegula very densely punctate with few or no distinct interspaces (surface appearing dull) and inner margin strongly concave with broadly rounded projection directed towards axilla posteriorly (tegula more sparsely punctate with inner posterior margin more weakly concave in other Canadian species except L. stictaspis), and propodeum lateral face with punctures shallow and indistinct (shiny and distinctly punctate in L. gaudiale).</p><p>Both sexes of L. tegulariforme are most similar to L. gaudiale and an undescribed species from southern California, United States of America, but the characters of T1 will readily separate them.</p><p>Range. California Central Valley, United States of America north to southern British Columbia, Canada and east through Idaho, United States of America (Fig. 17B).</p><p>Floral hosts. Broadly polylectic (Supplementary material, Table S2).</p><p>DNA barcodes. Three sequences available (BOLD process IDs: BCLRB752-10, DLIII111-18, DLIII112-18). These sequences are highly divergent from L. gaudiale and L. helianthi (maximum intraspecific P -distance 0.31%; minimum interspecific P -distance to L. gaudiale 3.37%; to L. helianthi 2.83%).</p><p>Comments. Lasioglossum gaudiale is herein resurrected from synonymy with L. tegulariforme . Lasioglossum gaudiale and L. helianthi were synonymised with L. tegulariforme in Michener (1951). The holotype of L. tegulariforme is a female, that of L. gaudiale a male, so it has seemed plausible that these are different sexes of the same species. Series of associated females and males and DNA barcodes now indicate that the true male of L. tegulariforme is morphologically, genetically, and geographically distinct from L. gaudiale . Lasioglossum gaudiale is primarily a desert species common in the Sonoran and Mojave deserts and the Los Angeles basin, United States of America. The true L. tegulariforme is here considered to have a much more restricted range than previously recorded. It occurs sympatrically with L. helianthi throughout this range.</p><p>The holotype of L. helianthi is a female but is in poor condition, making morphological comparison difficult. However, certain diagnostic characters, including the face, tegula, and dorsal surface of T1, are visible and clearly match L. imbrex more closely than L. tegulariforme . Specimens determined by P.H. Timberlake as L. helianthi before he synonymised it in Michener (1951) are also clearly L. imbrex .</p><p>The name Lasioglossum tegulariforme has been widely over-applied to specimens from the western Nearctic region. This was first noted by Cockerell (1937) and corroborated by Gibbs (2010), who suggested that many old records of L. tegulariforme actually pertain to L. imbrex (= L. helianthi). In this work, we suggest that old L. tegulariforme records (especially any from far outside the range in Fig. 17B) may also pertain to L. gaudiale, L. stictaspis, L. paululum (Sandhouse, 1924), L. pseudotegulare (Cockerell, 1896), or an undescribed species. References to L. tegulariforme in Sandhouse (1924) probably pertain to L. stictaspis, and references in Sandhouse and Cockerell (1924) probably pertain to L. gaudiale and/or an undescribed species. Specimen records and floral hosts in Moure and Hurd (1987) are likely from several species. Only records from specimens personally examined by J. Gardner or Joe Engler (FWSE) and known to be correctly identified are presented here.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/685F8793504A041BA2FF88A2FC3FCF71	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Lasioglossum tuolumnense is a member of the L. petrellum species complex (Gibbs 2009).

Males of L. weemsi can be distinguished from the similar species in the L. viridatum complex, and especially L. hitchensi, L. paradmirandum, L. admirandum, and L. subviridatum by the combination of mesoscutum entirely dull with tessellate microsculpture (partially shiny in L. subviridatum), mesepisternum rugulose (smooth and imbricate to tessellate in L. paradmirandum), metasomal terga moderately densely punctate (IS = 1–2 PD) (sparsely punctate (i = 2–4 PD) in L. hitchensi) and without tomentum, clypeus apical margin brown (yellow in L. admirandum), and tarsi orange.</p><p>Comments. The male of L. weemsi was unknown at the time of the revisions by Gibbs (2010, 2011). A single specimen was associated with some females via DNA barcodes. The DNA barcodes of L. hitchensi, L. leviense (Mitchell, 1960), and L. weemsi are subtly but consistently distinct from other members of the L. viridatum complex, and these three species can almost always be separated from each other by diagnostic nucleotide substitutions (Gibbs 2018b).</p><p>Revised keys to Lasioglossum (Dialictus) of Canada</p><p>The identification keys presented in Gibbs (2010) were extensively revised to incorporate new species, corrections, and improvements to reliability and ease of use.
