[ID, pinned] Late female Nomada sp.

[Jason Green]

Afternoon all,

I found this female Nomada sp. on a now rapidly quietening-down aculeate earth-bank on the 31st July, 2011. It's unidentate, about 6mm long and seemed fairly active as it searched holes. It seems in quite good condition for a late flyer.

Any ideas, please? I don't have a female key, but can check important points as I of course have the set reference voucher to hand.

Unidentate female, 6mm long

Thanks for looking!

Take care,

Jason

I'd go for Nomada flavoguttata.

Thanks Matt! Is this one fairly distinct on aesthetics and phenology, or are there any confirmatory anatomical characteristics to check for?
