Comprehensive Description

Agapostemon melliventris Cresson
This is a widespread polylectic species in western North America (Roberts, 1972), occurring primarily in the Great Basin and desert areas of the southwestern states and northern Mexico and flying in the spring, summer, and fall. Females are active early and late in the day, reported gathering pollen before and after sunrise from Cucurbita and Datura (0456–0632) in New Mexico (Linsley, 1960a) and from Camissonia in the early morning and late afternoon in Nevada and in southeastern California (Linsley, MacSwain, and Raven, 1963a, 1963b). They have been captured while gathering Larrea pollen in a wide range of localities, both in the spring and fall blooming periods. However, this is not a preferred host and Larrea-visiting individuals are frequently carrying pollen from other sources.
