Status

A large bee active in spring. Named after the University of Illinois football team by Wally LaBerge, one of the great taxonomy experts that we recently lost. He was a specialist in Andrena and Melissodes and dabbled in several other genera of bees. (S. Droege, pers. comm.)

Relationships

Sam Droege associates this species with blackberry blossoms, but adds that, like others of its group, it probably occurs on a wide variety of woody plants.
