Abstract
We review the six species of non-metallic Osmia (Melanosmia) found in North America,
including the description of two new species found in Canada and the northern United
States: Osmia (Melanosmia) aquilonaria sp. n., and Osmia (Melanosmia) nearctica sp.
n., respectively belonging to the inermis and xanthomelana species groups. We additionally
provide keys to the non-metallic Melanosmia found in North America, and update keys
to the palearctic Melanosmia based on study of the type specimens of Osmia disjuncta
Tkalců, Osmia ephippiata Smith, Osmia ishikawai Hirashima, and Osmia pamirensis Gussakovskij.
