Notes.
Until
Gibbs (2011)
, this was considered a subspecies of
L
.
pilosum
(Smith)
that was restricted to the southeastern USA.
Lasioglossum floridanum
was found to range further north to overlap extensively with
L
.
pilosum
, including the northwest corner of Illinois (
Gibbs 2011
;
Grundel
et al.
2011
). It was raised from subspecific status by
Gibbs (2011)
based on the morphological and molecular differences and sympatric distribution with
L. pilosum
.
