Range
Records of "pilosum" from the SE USA may pertain to L. floridanum whereas those from the western USA may pertain to succinipenne. In the NE USA and eastern Canada both pilosum and leucocomum occur together commonly and must be separated with care.
Remarks
Lasioglossum pilosum sensu lato (sensu auct.) includes L. floridanum, L. leucocomum, and L. succinipenne, each of which was elevated to species status in Gibbs 2010(1) and 2011(2).
