Abstract

Here we report the first records of Pseudoanthidium nanum (Mocsáry) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) and Hylaeus hyalinatus Smith (Hymenoptera: Colletidae) for the state of Indiana. P. nanum was first detected in Gary, Lake County during August, 2023, and multiple specimens of H. hyalinatus were collected from 2021 to 2023 in Marion, Grant County. These records fill gaps in the Midwestern ranges of both species.
