This species of Micranthophora occurs in the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts and specilizes on pollen from plants in the family Asteraceae , especially Bebbia juncea Greene ( Orr et al. 2018) . In BC, a single male specimen was collected south of San Felipe in 1976. The BBPT also collected one female and male in the Lower Colorado Desert in April 2023 (MABC). See fig. 75.
