Treatment

Antherophagus ochraceus was reported from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and insular Newfoundland by Bousquet (1991) and it is widely distribut- ed in the region (Fig. 1). Antherophagus View in CoL species are associated with bumblebees ( Bombus View in CoL spp.) (see A. convexulus ). Blatchley (1910) reported this species from the flowers of Hydrangea arborescens View in CoL L. ( Hydrangeaceae View in CoL ). In Nova Scotia there are several records from the flowers of Rosa virginiana Mill. (Rosaceae) View in CoL .
