Abstract

Mining bees of the genus Evylaeus are remarkable in that their behaviour ranges from a strictly solitary to a complex social level. Knowledge of the many sexually dimorphic species is fragmentary, and the present paper describes one new species from northern Ontario and associates the sexes in two others. Biological notes and the illustration of male terminalia of closely related species are presented to facilitate their separation.
