Provides a summary of the known specimens of Macropis Cuckoo Bee, Epeoloides pilosulus, from Canada.
Epeoloides pilosulus, one of the rarest bees in North America, is a cleptoparasite of Macropis bees which themselves are uncommon oligoleges of oil-producing Lysimachia flowers. Only two specimens of the cleptoparasite have been reported from Canada since the 1960s, both from Nova Scotia.
A recently collected specimen of Epeoloides pilosulus from Alberta, Canada confirms this species from that province, and greatly increases its known range in western North America. This record, and additional specimens from southern Ontario (one collected in 1978), have implications for the conservation status of this COSEWIC assessed species in Canada, which are discussed.
