Lasioglossum (Dialictus) cephalotes (Dalla Torre, 1896)

Comments. Lasioglossum cephalotes has not been confirmed for Canada, but is believed to be a parasite of L. zephyrus (Smith, 1853) ( Robertson 1926) , a relatively common species in Canada. Lasioglossum cephalotes was recorded from southern Ontario ( MacKay and Knerer 1979), but the specimens were re-examined and identified as L. lionotus (Sandhouse, 1924) ( Gibbs 2010, 2011). The name L. cephalotes was used incorrectly by Gibbs (2010) to refer to L. rozeni ( Gibbs 2011) .
