This species is widely distributed in North American xeric regions and is a pollen specialist on Parkinsonia L., Prosopis L., and Vachellia Wight & Arn. in the family Fabaceae ( Fowler 2020) . In BCP it had been collected in the Lower Colorado Desert , Central Desert , and Gulf Coast regions. We reviewed 192 specimens from the BCP ( CASC). Additionally, the BBPT collected seven specimens in La Giganta Ranges and the Gulf Coast in March of 2021 (5 ♀, 2 ♂). Voucher specimens are in ECOAB (3 ♀, 1 ♂) and MABC (2♀, 1 ♂). See fig. 56.
