Se realizó un estudio faunístico de las abejas del género Agapostemon (Halictidae) en el estado de Nuevo León, México para conocer las especies presentes, su distribución, relación con la flora y tipos de vegetación del estado. La metodología se basó en la revisión de literatura y de bases de datos de colecciones entomológicas, y en muestreos en campo donde se utilizó red entomológica y platos trampa de colores amarillo, azul, rosa (tonos fluorescentes) y blanco. Sólo en 20 de los 35 muestreos que se realizaron se obtuvieron ejemplares del género. Se recolectaron 11 especies, 2 de las cuales son registros nuevos para el estado (A. nasutus y A. splendens). El 12.31% de los ejemplares se obtuvo mediante el uso de red y el 87.84% con los platos trampa; el color amarillo fue el preferido por las abejas.

Most of these sites are concentrated in the eastern and southern part of the state, with a chronology spanning from as early as AD 400 through the earliest era of European contact, and encompassing various archaeological cultures (e.g. St. Johns, Glades, and Belle Glade).
