“…As a result, when papers refer to “ Augochloropsis metallica ” it is often impossible to know whether they were referring to “ Augochloropsis metallica metallica ” or “ Augochloropsis metallica fulgida ,” especially given that many publications fail to cite the identification resources or taxon concepts they used (see Packer et al 2018 ). More recently, several authors have recognized four species of Augochloropsis in the United States, informally elevating the subspecies Augochloropsis metallica fulgida (Smith) to full species (e.g., Camilo et al 2018 ; Stephenson et al 2018 ; Decker et al 2020 ), but this has not been widely adopted. Overall, this has made it difficult to compare different publications and has hindered our ability to build even a basic understanding of the ranges and patterns of occurrence of these two taxa.…”

Augochloropsis and other shiny green Halictinae have had various taxonomic issues and are often misidentified. One prevailing taxonomic issue is that Augochloropsis metallica (Fabricius) has two subspecies, that have long been recognized as morphologically distinct (Augochloropsis metallica metallica and Augochloropsis metallica fulgida (Smith), but the subspecies are inconsistently applied in the literature. Here, we review the Augochloropsis of the Midwest and further address the Augochloropsis species in the broader United States to resolve the outstanding taxonomic issues with the midwestern species. We provide identification keys and diagnoses for the genera and species of the shiny green Halictinae of the midwestern United States, which includes the genera Agapostemon, Augochlora, Augochlorella, and Augochloropsis. This work results in taxonomic changes to Augochloropsis. Augochloropsis sumptuosa (Smith) is split into two species, with the name Augochloropsis sumptuosa retained for the eastern form, and Augochloropsis humeralis (Patton), stat. nov., reinstated for the western form. Augochloropsis metallica is split into five species, with two of those species occurring in the midwestern United States: Augochloropsis metallica and Augochloropsis viridula (Smith), stat. nov. Examination of the holotype of Augochloropsis fulgida (Smith) revealed that it does not agree with the prevailing concept of Augochloropsis metallica fulgida; it is reinstated as Augochloropsis fulgida, stat. nov., but is currently known only from the holotype female from Florida. Augochloropsis cuprea (Smith), long considered to be a synonym of Augochloropsis metallica, is also distinct, and we are reinstating Augochloropsis cuprea, stat. nov., though the range of this species is unclear. We further recognize Augochloropsis fulvofimbriata (Friese), stat. nov., from South and Central America, as distinct. These changes result in a total of three Augochloropsis species in the Midwest and seven named species in the United States. We are aware of additional species from the southern and southwestern United States that are undescribed, and we highlight additional taxonomic work that remains to be done.

The megachilid bees of the genus Chelostoma Latreille, 1809 in Montana, U.S.A., are reviewed. Two Palearctic species, Chelostoma (Foveosmia) campanularum (Kirby, 1802) and Chelostoma (Gyrodromella) rapunculi (Lepeletier, 1841), are reported for the first time from Montana. The Montana specimens represent a range expansion from southeastern Michigan for C. campanularum and from northeastern Illinois for C. rapunculi. These collections appear to represent an established local population for C. campanularum with specimens from multiple dates, years, and locations in Bozeman, Montana; specimens of C. rapunculi have only been found in one location and year. The habitat, distribution, and potential ecological impacts of establishment of these two non-native species in Montana are discussed. An identification key to the Chelostoma of Montana is provided.

“…Museum specimens have been used in a variety of bumble bee ( Bombus spp.) studies for analyses on both pollen and/or morphological traits (Decker et al, 2020; Nooten & Rehan, 2020; Simanonok et al, 2021). In this study, we evaluate the relative utility of microscopic and molecular methods given the additional challenges historical samples may pose for both methods.…”

1. Taxonomic analysis of pollen collected by bees can provide insights into their host plant use, providing information about the plant species selected for targeted conservation strategies. The two main identification approaches used are morphological analysis of pollen samples affixed to microscope slides (i.e., microscopic palynology) and molecular analysis of samples. Both methods are widely used for freshly collected materials and have been compared in multiple studies, yet their application to archived samples remains to be explored. Archived samples may be particularly useful for the study of rare or protected species, particularly when historical foraging patterns are uncertain.2. We used both methods to analyse pollen collected by the endangered rusty patched bumble bee species, Bombus affinis Cresson, applied to museum-archived specimens. Pollen samples were removed from the corbiculae of bumble bees originally collected in Michigan between 1914 and 1974. Samples included 24 rusty patched bumble bees each with large pollen loads on both corbiculae, allowing for pollen from the same bee to be analysed using both methods.3. DNA metabarcoding detected more plant taxa than light microscopy, and DNA barcoding also had higher taxonomic resolution when compared to taxa determined using light microscopy. In many instances, pollen could only be confidently identified to tribe or family with light microscopy. Discrepancy between methods decreased when taxa identified via DNA metabarcoding were binned into ecologically relevant groups corresponding to those identified using light microscopy. 4. Although binning demonstrated smaller within-method variance, there was still minimal correspondence between the two methods. Results indicate there are benefits and biases unique to each method and highlight the utility of binning taxonomic results to morphological or ecological groupings.
