Notes. Trap-nests described from Wisconsin (Medler 1965; Medler & Lussenhop 1968), Kansas and North Carolina (Baker et al. 1985), and New York, Maryland, North Carolina and Florida (Krombein 1967). Nesting in an old log in Missouri reported by Rau (1922). There is a published record of M. mendica nesting in the ground in Texas (Williams et al. 1986), but this cannot be confirmed. The presumed depository at Texas A&M does not have any material matching the paper (K. Wright, in litt.).
