Species Notes

Gibbs (2010) indicates that the Canadian records for this species from Ontario (as L. albitarse) (Michener 1951) and southern Alberta (as H. disparilis) (Cockerell 1937a) are questionable, and cannot be confirmed; no credible records north of Kansas or North Carolina have been found.
