Plants associated: Pekkarinen et al. (2003) noted that Macropis bees are apparently all oligolectic on Lysimachia ; females collect pollen and oil from Lysimachia , whereas nectar is usually collected from a wide variety of host plants. Michez et al. (2008) emphasized that, in the Palearctic region, Macropis bees are specialized on the subgenus Lysimachia .
