The males can be distinguished from other Anthidium in California except collectum and palmarum by the combination of a prominent black setal brush and the shape of sternum VI, which has the median and lateral lobes broader than long (fig. 41). The broader lateral lobe of tergum VII (subequal to distance separating it from the center spine) and lack of pale reddish maculation on the tegula are features which distinguish male atripes from palmarum. From collectum, the much broader median lobe of sternum VI and bifurcate sternum VIII are differentiating characters. The females have a rather distinctive posterior marginal band (fig. 77) which extends over one-half the width of the tergum and is sinuate. Also, female atripes are usually quite dark with no maculation on the mandible and clypeus, and both sexes typically have the posterior terga all black. This latter feature is seldom found in other species, although occasionally specimens of emarginatum, tenui Horae, and palliventre may approach this condition. There is a tendency for fuller cream or yellow maculations, especially on tergum IV, in southern California.
The majority of 233 specimens (101 $ , 132 ° ) examined from this state were from the Southern California Mountains. A. atripes was also collected on the east slope of the southern part of the Sierras and rarely in the Coast Range as far north as San Francisco Bay.
Biological information is limited to plant visitations in the family Leguminosae.
