- <p><b>Table 3.</b> Species of <i>Colletes</i> excluded from the region of study.</p><table><thead><tr><th><i>C. kincaidii</i> Cockerell</th><th>Recorded by Mitchell (1960) in his Table 1 from Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia, whereas his text indicated a more limited distribution “southward through the Appalachians as far as North Carolina ”. We concur with Stephen (1954) that Ithaca, in Tompkins County, central New York State (from where there seem to be no recent records), is a marginal (southern) locality for this species and suspect that Mitchell’s records from the southeastern states pertain to <i>C. eulophi</i>. Thus, we remove <i>C. kincaidii</i> from the list of bees confirmed to occur in Georgia and add <i>C. eulophi</i> to the hypothetical list for the state (see Table 2).</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th><i>C. simulans armatus</i> Patton</th><td>Stephen (1954) recorded this subspecies south only to Raleigh, North Carolina, but Mitchell (1960) recorded it in his distributional table from both Mississippi and Georgia. Mississippi specimens, from Hattiesburg, were treated by Stephen (1954) as a form intermediate between <i>C. simulans simulans</i> and <i>C. s. miamiensis</i>. Given that Mitchell (1960) did not address the uncertainty in Stephen’s identification, we think both the Mississippi and Georgia records require further verification before <i>C. s. armatus</i> can be accepted on lists for those two states.</td></tr><tr><th><i>C. solidaginis</i> Swenk</th><td>Recorded from both Florida and Georgia by Mitchell (1960), but Stephen (1954) recorded the species south only to North Carolina: Raleigh; Swannanoa. In our experience this is a northern species, and we regard Florida and Georgia records as unlikely. It is readily confused with other members of the <i>americanus</i> species group well known from the region such as <i>C. mandibularis</i>.</td></tr><tr><th><i>C. wilmattae</i> Cockerell</th><td>Recorded from Georgia by Mitchell (1960), but he considered the record “somewhat doubtful.” Due to the possibility of confusion with poorly known species such as <i>C. howardi</i>, we regard this record as doubtful. The nearest fully confirmed records are from Wisconsin (Wolf & Ascher, 2008).</td></tr></tbody></table>
