Heriades simplex Cresson, 1864: 384 View in CoL (Connecticut holotype).

Holotype. Female USA: Connecticut: E. Norton ( USNM).

Notes: Mitchell (1962) reported this species from Connecticut; however, no other specimens have been collected in the state other than the holotype, which was presumably from Hartford County (and was reported from there by Neff, 2009). Hoplitis simplex is rare in New England and expected to be a specialist on the family Hydrophylloideae , such as the genus Phacelia (Neff 2009) . Targeted surveys on its host plant may elucidate its status in the region.

Genus Osmia Panzer
