Dufourea australis (Michener, 1937) View in CoL

[Holotype: CASC; ♂ San Diego (on the mesa north-east of town), California, USA; April 1, 1934] Dufourea australis is found in the xeric regions of southwestern USA and the BCP. This species specializes on pollen from yellow Asteraceae such as Bahiopsis Kellogg , Deinandra Greene , Encelia Adans. , and Verbesina L. ( Lincoln 1980). This species was recorded in BCS in the Cape Mountains in October 1941 ( Bohart 1949). Additionally, Ayala et al. (1996) reported it in BC, but to the best of our knowledge, there are no publicly available records. See fig. 190.
