Lasioglossum (Dialictus) ellisiae (Sandhouse, 1924) View in CoL
Ellis’ Epauletted Metallic-Sweat Bee
Notes: Although this species was not reported from Connecticut in Gardner & Gibbs (2023), recent surveys have detected this species in Hartford and Windham counties in Connecticut. With further study more examples of the northern L. ellisiae , may be verified, especially from places such as Litchfield County, mixed in with its cryptic but more southern-distributed sister species L. tegulare .
Lasioglossum (Dialictus) ephialtum Gibbs, 2010
Nightmarish Metallic-Sweat Bee
Notes: The first known records in Connecticut for this recently described species (Gibbs 2010) are two females that were found burrowing in a window box in West Haven (New Haven County) on 26 May 1946. Lasioglossum ephialtum was the most abundant species captured in the Grass Island bee survey (n = 1,082) (Zarrillo & Stoner 2019) and has been found throughout the state (except for Tolland County ) .
