Lasioglossum (Dialictus) lionotus ( Sandhouse, 1923)

Comments. Lasioglossum lionotus was recorded from Canada in Gibbs (2010) as L. asteris . The synonymy of L. asteris with L. lionotus was made by Gibbs (2011). The species is a social parasite

of L. imitatum (Smith, 1853) ( Wcislo 1997) , a common species that forms eusocial colonies ( Michener and Wille 1961).
