Agapostemon (Agapostemon) subtilior Cockerell, 1898

Subtle Striped-Sweat Bee

Notes: Portman et al. (2024) reinstated this taxon from synonymy with Agapostemon texanus (sensu Roberts 1977) . All Agapostemon texanus records from the Northeastern United States can be attributed to Agapostemon subtilior , since confirmed records of Agapostemon texanus are limited to the Central United States with known eastern range limits extending from Minnesota to Louisiana and Mississippi. Agapostemon subtilior is expected to be more localized than is A. sericeus in the Northeastern United States and may be most numerous at sandy sites. In Connecticut this species is best known from powerline ROW, inland sandplain remnants and locations with a sand/gravel component, and in coastal scrub.
