Table 3 in A new species of Colletes (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Colletidae) from northern Florida and Georgia, with notes on the Colletes of those states

Table 3. Species of Colletes excluded from the region of study. C. kincaidii CockerellRecorded by Mitchell (1960) in his Table 1 from Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia, whereas his text indicated a more limited distribution “southward through the Appalachians as far as North Carolina ”. We concur with Stephen (1954) that Ithaca, in Tompkins County, central New York State (from where there seem to be no recent records), is a marginal (southern) locality for this species and suspect that Mitchell’s records from the southeastern states pertain to C. eulophi. Thus, we remove C. kincaidii from the list of bees confirmed to occur in Georgia and add C. eulophi to the hypothetical list for the state (see Table 2).C. simulans armatus PattonStephen (1954) recorded this subspecies south only to Raleigh, North Carolina, but Mitchell (1960) recorded it in his distributional table from both Mississippi and Georgia. Mississippi specimens, from Hattiesburg, were treated by Stephen (1954) as a form intermediate between C. simulans simulans and C. s. miamiensis. Given that Mitchell (1960) did not address the uncertainty in Stephen’s identification, we think both the Mississippi and Georgia records require further verification before C. s. armatus can be accepted on lists for those two states.C. solidaginis SwenkRecorded from both Florida and Georgia by Mitchell (1960), but Stephen (1954) recorded the species south only to North Carolina: Raleigh; Swannanoa. In our experience this is a northern species, and we regard Florida and Georgia records as unlikely. It is readily confused with other members of the americanus species group well known from the region such as C. mandibularis.C. wilmattae CockerellRecorded from Georgia by Mitchell (1960), but he considered the record “somewhat doubtful.” Due to the possibility of confusion with poorly known species such as C. howardi, we regard this record as doubtful. The nearest fully confirmed records are from Wisconsin (Wolf & Ascher, 2008).表3 被排除出本研究区域的集蜂属（Colletes）物种。 C. kincaidii 科克雷尔（Colletes kincaidii Cockerell）：米切尔（Mitchell, 1960）在其表1中记录该物种分布于弗吉尼亚州、田纳西州、北卡罗来纳州与佐治亚州，但其文本中却指出其分布范围更局限："沿阿巴拉契亚山脉向南延伸至北卡罗来纳州"。我们赞同斯蒂芬（Stephen, 1954）的观点：纽约州中部汤普金斯县的伊萨卡地区（目前暂无最新记录）是该物种的边缘（南部）分布地，并推测米切尔在东南部各州记录的该物种实为C. eulophi（优洛集蜂）。因此，我们将C. kincaidii从佐治亚州已确认分布的蜂类名录中移除，并将C. eulophi（优洛集蜂）加入该州的假想分布名录（见表2）。 C. simulans armatus 帕顿（Colletes simulans armatus Patton）：斯蒂芬（1954）仅记录该亚种的分布南至北卡罗来纳州罗利市，但米切尔（1960）在其分布数据表中记录该亚种见于密西西比州与佐治亚州。斯蒂芬（1954）将采自密西西比州哈蒂斯堡的标本定为拟态集蜂指名亚种（Colletes simulans simulans）与C. s. miamiensis之间的中间型。鉴于米切尔（1960）未提及斯蒂芬鉴定中的不确定性，我们认为在将C. s. armatus纳入这两州的蜂类名录前，需对密西西比州与佐治亚州的相关记录做进一步验证。 C. solidaginis 斯文克（Colletes solidaginis Swenk）：米切尔（1960）记录该物种分布于佛罗里达州与佐治亚州，但斯蒂芬（1954）仅记录其分布南至北卡罗来纳州的罗利市与斯旺诺诺阿。根据我们的研究经验，该物种为北方类群，因此我们认为佛罗里达州与佐治亚州的记录可信度较低。该物种极易与本区域常见的美洲集蜂物种群（americanus species group）的其他成员混淆，例如C. mandibularis（颚集蜂）。 C. wilmattae 科克雷尔（Colletes wilmattae Cockerell）：米切尔（1960）记录该物种见于佐治亚州，但他本人也认为该记录"存疑"。鉴于该物种可能与C. howardi（豪氏集蜂）等鲜为人知的物种混淆，我们认为该记录可信度不足。目前已确认的最近分布地为威斯康星州（Wolf & Ascher, 2008）。
