Lasioglossum gotham is one of 11 new bees discovered in the Eastern U.S. It earned its "Gotham" tag because it is one of four found living in New York City and its suburbs. All 11 new bees are detailed in the article, "Revision of the metallic Lasioglossum (Dialictus) of eastern North America," in the peer-reviewed journal Zootaxa, October 2012.
