[ Neotype: UCMC; ♂ Mesilla Park , Las Cruces, Doña Ana Co., New Mexico, USA]

The range of Epeolus mesillae spans from northwestern Mexico to the southwestern USA. In the BCP, it has been documented across various ecoregions, including the Coastal Sage Matorral, Chaparral (BC), Magdalena Plains, and the Sarcocaulescent Shrubland in BCS ( Onuferko 2018; GBIF 2023). Additionally, we examined four specimens (CASC): three males collected in the Lower Colorado Desert, two at 20 mi. S Palacio in April 1939, and one at 10 mi. S. San Felipe in March 1961, along with one in Chaparral in April 1960. See fig. 130.
