Morphologically close genera, and how to distinguish them:
Several bees with 3 submarginal cells have wasp-like appearance and can be confused with Nomada when looked at superficially.
The other genera have a marginal cell distinctly oval or truncated at the apex.
Shecodes, Ceylalictus, Nomioides and Rophites species have a distinctly curved basal vein.
Andrena, Hylaeus & Colletes species have a first and second metasomal segment of equivalent width, and 'short tongue' mouthparts.

General comments on Nomada species identification
Nomada species identification involve multiple criteria, including genitalia and setae of legs on the ventral side in males.
In females, some criteria are located on the labrum, mandible apex, antennae, sternites and apical teeth of the posterior tibiae.
