Abstract

The presence of morphological abnormalities from the described state (aberrations) can cause issues with identification of complex groups of bees. Three accounts of aberrant specimens of North American Hylaeus Fabricius from Rocky Mountain, Colorado are described. A specimen of Hylaeus rudbeckiae (Cockerell and Casad) exhibiting mosaic gynandromorphy, a specimen of Hylaeus personatellus (Cockerell) exhibiting aberrations on the face, and a specimen of Hylaeus coloradensis (Cockerell) exhibiting an aberration in the wing venation are described here with photo documentation.
