Identification
Extracted from: Charles, R. (1895). Notes on bees, with Descriptions of New Species. Transactions of the American Entomological Society Vol. 22, No. 2. pp. 115-128.

Appears as the now synonymized Prosopis pygmea.

The ♀ has the usual spots on the bases of the tibiae, those on anterior pair extending nearly to tip. There is a variable yellow spot on each side of face, one on tegulae, on tubercles, and often on apex of clypeus, but some specimens show no yellow markings, except on the tibiae. I have taken the sexes in copula.
