Ground Cherry Sweat Bee

Notes: Britton & Viereck (1906) reported a single record of this Physalis specialist [as Halictus pectinatus Robertson ] on American gooseberry ( Ribes oxyacanthoides ), and this species was later reported for Connecticut in Mitchell (1960). Likely under-collected due to its host specialization (Veit et al. 2022[“2021”]), this species was not detected in Connecticut again until 2020 when C. T. Maier conducted a targeted search for this species on Physalis blooms.
