Identification
Mickel (1) describes subspecies vagans:
This is the most widely distributed and abundant species of the genus Timulla in North America north of Mexico. The female has been confused with dubitata Smith in collections. The female may be recognized at once by the following combination of characters: sides of thorax distinctly emarginate medially, second tergite with a pair of anterior, more or less distinct, pale pubescent spots, and a distinct mesonotal-scutellar suture or groove just anterior to the scutellar scale. The male can be distinguished by the brush of white hairs on the scape beneath, the dark fuscous wings, and the sparse, black pubescence of the abdominal tergites. The females as well as the males vary a great deal in size; length of females varies from 6 to 14 mm; the males from 9 to 19 mm.

The same source describes subspecies rufinota, found in Florida:
Male. — Exactly like vagans except the pronotum and mesonotum entirely and the propodeum more or less, ferruginous. Length, 17 mm. Female. — Indistinguishable from vagans.
