The people to talk to are Roy Snelling of the LA County Museum, and Charles
Michener at the University of Kansas. The phone number for the latter is
(913) 864-4610, and he doesn't have e-mail. He won't mind a call, I'm sure.
He's the expert on Indo-Australian Colletidae, so he's your best bet. To my
knowledge, Nesoprosopis is a very small group, and well-known (insofar as
the species all being described).
Cheers,
