Leioproctus (Nodocolletes) subvigilans (Cockerell) View in CoL . Michener, 1965: 63.

The holotype of Paracolletes subvigilans is the female of Paracolletes dentiger . The sexes have been associated by morphological similarity (they both lack a defined anterior margin to the hind basitibial plate, amongst other characters) and coincident collection data.
