Agapostemon (Agapostemon) angelicus Cockerell, 1924

Counties: Brown, Jackson, Lyon, Murray

Comments: A male was recently reported by Portman et al. (2022a) from Jackson County. Additional searching has revealed an additional five males from multiple locations in southwestern Minnesota . Currently, females cannot be reliably separated from A. texanus using morphology ( Roberts 1972). More work is needed to determine the extent of the range of this species in Minnesota.
