This species specializes on pollen from a broad range of plant genera in the family Asteraceae , which aids in its large geographic distribution ( Orr et al. 2018 ). In our surveys, the BBPT collected 26 specimens ( 16 ♂ , 10 ♀ ) in the Baja California Mountains in La Rumorosa and Sierra Juarez in September 2021 and 2022 and in April 2022 . Voucher specimens are in MABC ( 8 ♂ , 5 ♀ ), and ECOAB ( 8 ♂ , 5 ♀ ). See fig. 75.
