Melissodes (Eumelissodes) subillatus LaBerge 1961
Description
Melissodes (Eumelissodes) subillatus LaBerge 1961
Melissodes (Eumelissodes) subillata, LaBerge, 1961: 568. (Michigan holotype)
Holotype. ♀ USA: Michigan: Washtenaw Co.: Ann Arbor, 17 Jun. 1952, L. H. Shinners on Gaillardia aristata (SEMC).
County records: Arenac, Barry, Berrien, Cheboygan, Clinton, Eaton, Houghton, Ingham, Kalamazoo, Leelanau, Livingston, Midland, Montcalm, Oakland, Oceana, Ottawa, Saginaw, Van Buren, Washtenaw.
Notes. This Asteraceae specialist is relatively common in the LP. In addition to the holotype, LaBerge (1961) lists the following Michigan locations in the original description: Arenac Co., Cheboygan Co.: Cheboygan, Douglas Lake, Clinton Co., Eaton Co., Ingham Co.: East Lansing, Eaton Co., Midland Co., Oakland Co., and Oceana Co.. It is easily confused with other Melissodes species, in particular M. illatus Lovell and Cockerell and M. denticulatus Smith.
