As is often the case the males look quite different from the females. This is one of a handful of species that have modified antennae segments, with small spines, sculpting and elongations compared to other groups of Nomada. Also interesting is that this species appears to parasitize an Andrena rather than an Agapostemon as do the others in this group. Who says there is nothing new under the sun.
