Calliopsis (Calliopsima) pugionis Cockerell, 1925 View in CoL **

[ Holotype: CASC; ♀ Soboba Springs , Riverside Co., California, US; June 3, 1917]

This species is a spring bee that specializes on pollen from early-blooming Asteraceae such as Chaenactis DC. and Encelia Adans. Sinn (1967) . Calliopsis pugionis is a new species record for Mexico. The BBPT collected specimens from the CFP in Chaparral in June 2017, Coastal Sage Matorral in April and May 2020, and Succulent Coastal

Matorral in March 2021 and April 2023. These habitats are characteristic of those in the USA where C. pugionis is found described by Shinn (1967). See fig. 24.
