Dieunomia nevadensis, the Nevada nomia, is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae. It is found in Central America and North America.[2][3][4] It was first described by Ezra Cresson in 1874.[2]
Subspecies
[edit]These five subspecies belong to the species Dieunomia nevadensis:[2]
- Dieunomia nevadensis angelesia (Cockerell, 1910)
- Dieunomia nevadensis arizonensis (Cockerell, 1899)
- Dieunomia nevadensis bakeri (Cockerell, 1898)
- Dieunomia nevadensis nevadensis (Cresson, 1874)
- Dieunomia nevadensis stellata (Cross, 1958)
The subspecies Dieunomia nevadensis arizonensis is found in the southwestern and western United States and Mexico, and is easily distinguished by its extensively red abdomen.[5]
Dieunomia nevadensis bakeri
[edit]Dieunomia nevadensis bakeri, sometimes also called Baker's dieunomia,[5] was first described as its own species by Cockerell[clarification needed] in 1898.[6] It was subordinated to Dieunomia nevadensis in 1930 based on genitals which appeared identical with those of Dieunomia nevadensis, despite the different outward appearance.[7] Dieunomia nevadensis bakeri is about 2 mm longer than general Dieunomia nevadensis and is more robust; it has a black instead of yellowish-red abdomen, coarser punctures in the mesothorax, and less red tubercules.[7]
The range of Dieunomia nevadensis bakeri extends eastward up to Texas, Florida, and North Carolina; westward as far as Colorado and Wyoming; and northward as far as Illinois.[5] Its range overlaps to an extent with that of Dieunomia nevadensis arizonensis.[5]
