Andrena (Scrapteropsis) morrisonella Viereck, 1917 View in CoL

Morrison’s Miner

Notes: Mitchell (1960) records this species for Connecticut, however confusion with Andrena imitatrix , Andrena ilicis , and Andrena fennigeri Viereck may contribute to the scarcity of Connecticut records. The first verified record we could locate was a female collected during a BioBlitz. There have been only two other detections of A. morrisonella in Connecticut since.
