Osmia (Helicosmia) chalybea Smith, 1853 View in CoL , Taxonomic confusion
Steel-blue Mason
Notes: Mitchell (1962) and Rust (1974) report this species from Connecticut; however, these records may be the result of taxonomic confusion with the more northern Osmia texana (Goldstein & Ascher 2016) . We do not have details of voucher specimens for these records and are therefore excluding this species from our confirmed list even though it was recorded from Gardiners Island off the eastern tip of Long Island (Ascher et al. 2014) and could conceivably occur or have occurred in Connecticut just across Long Island Sound .
