Lasioglossum (Dialictus) cephalotes (Dalla Torre, 1896) View in CoL , Taxonomic confusion
Large-headed Metallic-Cuckoo-Sweat Bee
Notes: This uncommon cleptoparasite of Lasioglossum zephyrus was reported from Connecticut in Hurd (1979) and Britton and Viereck (1906) [as Paralictus cephalicus Robertson ], however this species closely resembles the subsequently described L. rozeni (Gibbs 2011) . As we cannot validate the older Connecticut records, and because confusion is likely with recently described forms, we are excluding this species from our confirmed list, even though there are confirmed reports from eastern Long Island (Suffolk County), New York (Gibbs 2011) and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Gibbs pers. comm.).
