Zacosmia maculata BC (MABC

Zacosmia maculata (Cresson, 1879) [Lectotype: ANSP: ♀ Nevada, USA] Zacosmia maculata exhibits a broad distribution spanning from southern Canada to northern Mexico along the western side of the Rocky Mountains. This species is a brood parasite on bees of Anthophora (Micranthophora) Michener (2007). Within the BCP, it had only been recorded in the Sarcocaulescent Shrubland in 1994 (GBIF 2023). We examined one female collected in the Coastal Sage Matorral in May 1980 (SDNHM). Additionally, the BBPT collected 32 specimens (27 ♂, 5 ♀) in the Coastal Sage Matorral, Chaparral, Baja California Mountains, Lower Colorado Desert and Central Desert (Supplementary Material 1). Voucher specimens are in MABC, and ECOAB. See fig. 139.
