Calliopsis (Nomadopsis) puellae

Description

Calliopsis (Nomadopsis) puellae (Cockerell, 1933)

[Holotype: AMNH; ♀ Borrego, San Diego Co., California, US; April 3, 1932]

This species occurs in the southwestern USA and northwestern Mexico (Rozen 1958) and specializes on pollen from plants in a broad range of genera in the family Asteraceae (Fowler 2020). BBSL reports digitized records from the Magdalena Plains (GBIF 2023). Additionally, we identified four specimens captured in the Central Desert in March 2014 (1 ♀; CNIN), March 1973 (2 ♂) and April 1973 (1 ♀; EMEC). The BBPT collected Calliopsis puellae in La Rumorosa within the Baja California Mountains in May 2022 (3 ♂, 1 ♀), and the Succulent Coastal Matorral in April 2023 (6 ♀; MABC). See fig. 30.
