Notes.
Possibly exotic. Holarctic distribution that apparently does not extend into northwestern Canada and Alaska. Cavity-nests in North America have been described repeatedly (
Hurd 1979
), from California (
Michelbacher & Hurd 1954
), New York (
Krombein 1967
), Massachusetts (
Packard 1869
), Pennsylvania (
Gentry 1874
), Colorado (
Hicks 1926
), and Wisconsin (
