Another very small bee which is likely to suffer from a degree of under-recording in the county. It is currently known from just two Nottinghamshire sites, including Misson Quarry in 2016 (Comont, R.) and most recently, when found and photographed (below) by Tim Sexton during survey work on the site of the former Rufford Colliery at Rainworth in September 2020.
