Notes: The first known records of Megachile centuncularis in Connecticut were collected by H. L. Viereck and H. W. Winkley in August 1904. In Connecticut this species has been found in habitats such as a pollinator garden in an agricultural setting, a sandplain remnant, and urban areas. Due in part to lack of fully confirmed records from Alaska this species has been considered non-native by some regional experts (Veit et al. 2022[“2021”]; Gibbs et al. 2017a, considered it possibly exotic) .
