Lasioglossum (Dialictus) microlepoides (Ellis, 1914) [Holotype: UCMC; ♀ La Cueva, Organ Mountains, 1,615 mts elev., New Mexico, USA; August 31] This species is distributed across northern Mexico and the southwestern USA. In the BCP, it has been previously reported in the Lower Colorado Desert, and Gulf Coast ecoregions (Sandhouse & Cockerell 1924). We examined two specimens in the Sarcocaulescent Shrubland in September 2016, and October 2018 (EMEC). Additionally, the BBPT collected 73 specimens (45 ♀, 28 ♂) from Coastal Sage Matorral, Chaparral, Succulent Coastal Matorral, Lower Colorado Desert, Central Desert in BC, and Vizcaíno Desert in BCS (MABC) (Supplementary material 1).
