Agapostemon (Agapostemon) texanus Cresson, 1872

[ Type: ANSP; ♀ Texas, USA]

This species occurs in both peninsular states. It is the most abundant Agapostemon species in the Coastal Sage Matorral in northern BC. Preserved specimens records also indicate its presence in the Lower Colorado Desert ( AMNH), Magdalena Plains ( INHS), and the Sarcocaulescent Shrubland ( SEMC) ( GBIF 2023 ). We reviewed 14 males; five collected in Chaparral in Sierra San Pedro Mártir in July 1977, and nine in the Succulent Coastal Matorral, eight in July 1977, and one in July 1994 ( CASC). Additionally, the BBPT collected 143 specimens (94 ♀, 49 ♂) in the Coastal Sage Matorral, Chaparral and Succulent Coastal Sage (Supplementary material 1). Voucher specimens are in MABC, and ECOAB.
