Else & Edwards (in press) will cover this species. It has also been covered in several other works, including Banaszak & Romasenko (2001) and Amiet et al. (2004).

A rather small, predominantly red Nomada with yellow spots on the gastral tergites.

This Nomada is one of those with a gaster which is red-brown with yellow spots. It is not often found, but may be sought wherever its host Andrena humilis Imhoff is present. It has been the subject of a lot of name changes in recent years, the current name being now generally accepted as the correctly applied one.

This cuckoo bee is easily confused in the field with its close relative Nomada fulvicornis Fabricius (see remarks under that species).

One of the larger and more frequently encountered Nomada species. Females are rather smaller and browner than those of its frequent associate Nomada flava Panzer. Females of these two species can be reliably told apart by the erect black hairs on the clypeus of N. panzeri (these are pale in N. flava); but males of these two species are extremely difficult to separate with any degree of confidence.

With a body length of 4–6 mm this is the smallest of the Nomada species found in the British Isles. The female is unusual in that the gastral tergites are devoid of yellow lateral markings of any kind. In Britain the species is unique in being entirely a cleptoparasite of small Lasioglossum species.

This is one of the smallest species of Nomada and is widely distributed throughout Britain. A very common bee, although, owing to its very small size, it is easily overlooked.
