Anthidiellum (Loyolanthidium) notatum notatum (Latreille 1809) (New state record)

County records: Berrien, Cass, Ingham, Livingston.

Notes. This species has not been recorded previously from Michigan although it was expected to be found here based on its wide distribution including southern Ontario (J.G. pers. obs.) and northern Indiana ( Grundel et al. 2011). Several specimens were collected recently in the southern LP and a single historical specimen has been identified. Recent collections from two sites in different counties include males of two subspecies: A. notatum notatum and A. notatum boreale (Robertson) (see below). Anthidiellum boreale is distinguished from the nominal subspecies (widespread in the Eastern United States) by the truncated paraocular maculations, absence of axillar maculations and presence of a medial longitudinal carina on T6 and T7 of males ( Mitchell 1962). Nest from North Carolina described by Baker et al. (1985).
