[ Syntypes: USNM; ♀ Tempe and Phoenix, Arizona, US; October 1899]

This species occurs in the southwestern USA and BC, Mexico. This species specializes on pollen from plants in a broad range of genera in Asteraceae ( Fowler 2020) . We confirmed the single specimen of P. heterothecae recorded for Mexico (Timberlake 1956), which is a female collected in the Lower Colorado Desert in Mexicali, BC in June 1939 (CASC). See fig. 41.
