Lithurgus scabrosus, f, back, maui, hi_2014-05-01-181544 ZS PMax_14072498016_o A new record for Hawaii for Maui, this introduced species (only some members of Hylaeus are native) was known from other islands but this appears to be the first record for Maui. Not surprising since it nests in wood and could easily be transported among islands or it is big enough that it could simply fly there.
