Cockerell 1897
County records:
Alger
, Allegan, Chippewa, Kalkaska, Keweenaw, Marquette, Missaukee, Montcalm, Montmorency, Oscoda, Schoolcraft.
Notes.
Females of
O
. aff.
trevoris
can be recognized by the following combination of characters: clypeal margin with small triangular notch medially, clypeal setae brown, mandibular carinae parallel and scopa dark brown (M. Arduser, unpublished data). Males would run to couplet
27 in
Mitchell (1962)
, being similar to both
O. collinsiae
Robertson
and especially
O. subarctica
(see above). The species was compared to
O
.
inurbana
Cresson
and
O
.
trevoris
by MGR, likely synonymous names based on male and female
types
, and widely collected in western North America. Material from
Michigan
,
Indiana
, and
Ohio
need further study to resolve the taxonomic status of these specimens.
