| Summary: | The Anthophoridae, which are represented by numerous species in the Middle
States, become comparatively rare in northern New England. At Waldoboro in
southern Maine there have been taken as the result of much diligent collecting only
five species of Melissodes and one of Clisodon. With few exceptions, which will
be noted under the respective species, they are visitors in this locality of the Compositae
and fly during midsummer and early autumn. With the exception of Melissodes
desponsa Sm., which is rather common, they might easily escape the attention
of the general entomological collector. |
