Unknown Bee in Mentzelia involucrata - Xeralictus timberlakei - female

Unknown Bee in Mentzelia involucrata - Xeralictus timberlakei - Female
Upper Box Canyon, northeast of Mecca, Riverside County, California, USA
April 30, 2011
Postscript (5/19/12): Viewing the full-size image (and perhaps zooming in using ctrl-+ or cmd-+ in your browser)...look closely for the serrate tibial spur. It's attached to the disto-ventral end of the tibia and bent backwards here, appearing below (and parallel to) the middle portion of the tibia. This distinctive tibial spur is a key character of Xeralictus.
