Notes.
Some taxonomic problems associated with members of the
vegana
species group were resolved by
Droege
et al.
(2010)
.
Nomada vegana
was not treated in that paper, but
Droege
et al.
(2010)
provide useful information for comparison to other members of the group that occur in
Michigan
, including
N
.
fervida
(and its midwestern dark color form
N
.
wisconsinensis
Graenicher
, previously considered as a distinct species, e.g., by
Wolf & Ascher, 2009
) and
N
.
tiftonensis
(treated as a junior synonym of
N
.
heiligbrodtii
Cresson
by
Mitchell, 1962
and
Hurd, 1979
, and also considered as a junior synonym of
N
.
texana
Cresson
in earlier drafts of
Ascher & Pickering, 2017
).
