Melissodes (Eumelissodes) trinodis Robertson, 1901 View in CoL

Dark-veined Longhorn

Notes: LaBerge (1961) lists three localities for this species in Connecticut (Colebrook, Litchfield County; Storrs, Tolland County; Westville, New Haven County), and we have found two records for M. trinodis determined by LaBerge at AMNH. The remainder of our material cannot be reliably separated from M. agilis at this time (see species account for M. agilis ). However, we suspect that this is the species found very commonly visiting sunflowers across the region, including New York City, an opinion reflected in (provisional) species identifications based on images at iNaturalist and BugGuide.
