Roberval Miner

Notes: There has been confusion between this species and the similar A. runcinatae due in part to the latter having been misclassified in subgenus Simandrena (see Hurd, 1979) leading to its omission from Donovan’s (1977) revision. Further taxonomic work on this pair is warranted, especially in the North Central States and Canada (Gibbs et al. 2017a, 2023; Portman et al. 2023). In the Northeastern United States, only A. robervalensis should occur, as reflected in relevant source databases but not yet all downstream institutional databases and metadatabases (which may report specimens as A. runcinatae ).
