Bee 1369 - Andrena crataegi - Female
Prospect Park, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, USA
June 8, 2008
Stumped again. It looks like a bit like the mining bees I've found but I'm confused by what I think is a small jugal lobe. A digger bee perhaps?

Subgenus Plastandrena?
John, thanks as always. Have you ever seen one in Prospect Park or anywhere in NYC?

I searched for Andrena crataegi in Bugguide and, given the fairly large distribution shown in Discover Life, I was surprised to find no entries or even a guide page. Should I place a request for one to be created under the subgenus Plastandrena?

Andrena female.
The head shot shows the "facial foveae" again. Please see comments on other pair of images.
