resembles the male of E. (S.) edwardsii

Thanks, John!
I'll check the L.A. County Museum. If not there, I had wanted to go out to Riverside anyway.
I'll be posting some bees from Claremont soon, but am waiting for sunny & warmer weather.
For now, I'll post what looks like a fairly large black Anthophora. Didn't get good photos yesterday, too cloudy. Trying some posed shots today.

large black Anthophora is likely either
black form of A. pacifica or black form of Habropoda tristissima

Thanks again, John!
Your information helped me greatly. Since I recall the difference in venation between Habropoda and Anthophora (double-checked in Michener), and knew the Habropoda tristissima from sampling at Hastings with Robbin Thorp, it had to be A. pacifica. Still, would appreciate your comments on that page.

there is no North American Hymenopteran named behrii
or behri, or baerii, or baeri...

Michener (2000) recognized Synhalonia as a subgenus of Eucera
