[ Holotype: UCRC; ♀ Cathedral City , Riverside Co., California, USA; Oct 8, 1945]

Perdita abdominalis is widely distributed in the SD in Arizona and California, USA in the north and down to the BCP in the Gulf Coast and the Sarcocaulescent Shrubland ecoregions in the tip of BCS. It specializes on pollen from plants in the genus Pectis L. ( Fowler 2020). We reviewed 14 specimens including 13 paratypes (9 ♂, 4 ♀) collected in Canipole (2 ♂, 1 ♀) and San Pedro (7 ♂, 3 ♀), BCS in October 1941 ( CASC). See fig. 43.
