Hitchen’s Metallic-Sweat Bee
Notes: This recently described species is notable due to past confusion with other species, such as L. a dmirandum (Gibbs 2010) and other members of the L. viridatum species group. The first record we could trace for Connecticut was collected in Mansfield, “Gurleyville” (Tolland County) on 6 May 1972 by A. G. Thornton, and it has subsequently been found in five other counties. This species has been captured on powerline ROW, agricultural land, sandplain remnants, grassland, the edge of a swamp, and a marsh. Corbin et al. (2021) suggest that L. hitchensi exhibits a bivoltine phenology.
