Lasioglossum (Dialictus) ceanothi (Mitchell) View in CoL

Dialictus ceanothi Mitchell, 1960: 386 . ♀.

Holotype. ♀ USA, North Carolina, Wayne Co. 15.vi.1955 on Ceanothus americanus, (H. V. Weems, Jr.) ; [ FSCA]. Examined.

Taxonomy. Krombein, 1967: Lasioglossum (Dialictus) ceanothi , p. 463 (catalogue); Hurd, 1979: Dialictus ceanothi , p. 1965 (catalogue); Moure & Hurd, 1987: Dialictus ceanothi , p. 94 (catalogue).

Diagnosis. Most similar to L. foveolatum . See diagnosis for that species.

Comments. Rare. Unsubstantiated records of this species have been reported from Ontario and Nova Scotia ( Ascher & Pickering 2010). Specimens from the latter locality identified as L. ceanothi have been examined and were misidentifications. No reliable Canadian records are known and this species has been excluded from the key and descriptions. This species would run to L. zophops in the key to females but can be distinguished by the coarse mesoscutal punctures and very weak oblique propodeal carina.
