Bombus bimaculatus Cresson, 1863: 392 View in CoL (Connecticut holotype).
Holotype. Male USA: Connecticut: E. Norton (cited as “probably lost” by Cresson, 1916).
Notes: Bombus bimaculatus is one of the earliest bumble bee species to emerge in the spring in Connecticut and is found commonly throughout the state in many diverse environments such as sandplains, agricultural land, meadows, quarries, marsh, bogs, a coastal wildlife refuge, beach dunes, powerline ROW, and forests. The Connecticut type is evidently missing from ANSP and is presumed lost. It has been replaced with a male neotype from Massachusetts deposited at USNM (https://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/ento/?ark=ark:/65665/ 35bb9c5e93a894307bed74ac350d6d3f3) .
