Calliopsis puellae is a species of bee in the family Andrenidae. It is found in Central America and North America.[1][2][3]
The species' type specimen was collected by Wilmatte Porter Cockerell and her great-niece, Lelah Milene Porter (1927-2001).[4] It is now at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology.[4] The species was named (as Spinoliella puellae) by Wilmatte's husband, Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell, who wrote:[5]
The name S. puellae commemorates the very little girl who helped my wife to collect the specimens.
