Abstract: Colletes compacta Cresson, 1868:166. (Connecticut syntype). Syntype. Female USA: Connecticut. A specimen from Illinois was selected as the lectotype by the describer (Cresson, 1916). Notes: This autumn bee is a specialist on Asteraceae (Gibbs et al. 2017a) and has been collected from goldenrod (Solidago s. l.) and unspecified Asters in Connecticut, in habitats such as coastal state parks, town beaches and inland ponds, and powerline ROW. Of note, one male was collected at Long Beach Park in Stratford (Fairfield County) on seaside goldenrod (Solidago sempirvirens) by C. T. Maier on 22 September 2009 along with a reported cleptoparasite (Rozen & Favreau 1968) Epeolus pusillus. Additionally, Epeolus autumnalis, a reported cleptoparasite of C. compactus compactus (Ascher et al. 2014), was netted with its host in a powerline ROW in Montville (New London County) on 3 September 2012 by F. Morrison.
