A checklist of the bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) of Manitoba, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We record 392 species or morphospecies of bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) for Manitoba, Canada, which is 154 more species than reported in 2015 and includes five new generic records since 2015 ( Ashmeadiella , Brachymelecta , Eucera, Neolarra, and Triepeolus ). Thirteen new records reported here are new for Canada: Calliopsis ( Nomadopsis ) australior Cockerell, Perdita ( Perdita ) tridentata Stevens, Brachymelecta interrupta (Cresson), Diadasia ( Dasiapis ) ochracea (Cockerell), Melissodes bidentis Cockerell, Nomada crawfordi crawfordi Cockerell, Nomada fuscicincta Swenk, Nomada sphaerogaster Cockerell, Nomada xantholepis Cockerell, Triepeolus cf. grindeliae Cockerell, Dianthidium ( Dianthidium ) parvum (Cresson), Coelioxys ( Xerocoelioxys ) nodis Baker, and Megachile ( Megachiloides ) dakotensis Mitchell. We remove the following species from the list of Manitoba bees based on re-examination of voucher material: Andrena ( Ptilandrena ) geranii Robertson, Andrena ( Rhacandrena ) robertsonii Dalla Torre, Andrena ( Simandrena ) nasonii Robertson, Andrena ( Trachandrena ) ceanothi Viereck, Andrena ( Trachandrena ) quintilis Robertson, Lasioglossum ( Hemihalictus ) pectoraloides (Cockerell), Lasioglossum ( Lasioglossum ) forbesii (Robertson), and Dianthidium ( Dianthidium ) concinnum (Cresson). We propose that Nomada alpha paralpha Cockerell, 1921 and N. alpha dialpha Cockerell, 1921 are junior synonyms of N. alpha Cockerell, 1905. Nomada arenicola Swenk, 1912 is considered a junior synonym of N. fervida Smith, 1854. Protandrena albertensis (Cockerell) and Neolarra mallochi Michener are recognised as valid species. We provide additional notes on taxonomy, nomenclature, and behaviour for select species in the list.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
