This species is primarily found in the CFP and is possibly the most abundant Habropoda species in northern BC. UCRC holds one specimen of H. tristissima collected in the Coastal Sage Matorral in February 1934. We also reviewed one male collected in the Coastal Sage Matorral in 1973 (CASC). The BBPT collected 32 specimens (26 ♀, 6 ♂) March, April, and May 2021, and April and May 2023 in the Coastal Sage Matorral and Chaparral regions. Voucher specimens are in MABC and ECOAB (Supplementary material 1). See fig. 83.
