Anthidium (Anthidium) tenuiflorae Cockerell 1907 (New state record and new for Eastern USA)

(Fig. 17A)

County records: Keweenaw (Isle Royale).

Notes. Gonzalez & Griswold (2013) report this primarily western species from as far east as Minnesota in the US and Saskatchewan in Canada. The Minnesota records are from near Basswood Lake, which is less than 200 km west of Isle Royale, Michigan where the bee was collected in 1957 and also recently by S. Wilson (pers. comm.). A single bee from Manitoba has been examined from Garson Quarry Station, 1 July 1996 (JBWM) suggesting that it should also occur in western Ontario, Canada. Notes on the nest were made by Hicks (1926) in Colorado.

Material examined. Keweenaw Co.: Isle Royale, 3 Jul. 1957, R.W. Hodges (1 ♀ MSUC) ; Isle Royale, 13 Jul. 1957, R.W. Hodges (1 ♀ MSUC) ; Isle Royale, 27 Jul. 1957, R.W. Hodges (1 ♀ MSUC) .
