Cup-legged Mason

Notes: An unconfirmed record of this species was reported in Viereck et al. (1916) on the flowers of January jasmine ( Lonicera fragrantissima ) in Connecticut, and its presence in the state was validated in 1941. Since then, this species has been found in small numbers at several locations in Connecticut, including powerline ROW, grasslands, and a coastal dune (Zarrillo et al. 2016). Ascher et al. (2014) and Rothwell & Ginsberg (2019) also report this species from coastal habitats, on Gardiners Island off the coast of eastern Long Island, New York, and Napatree Point Conservation Area in Westerly , Rhode Island respectively .
