Melissodes verbesinarum is a species of long-horned bees found in the south western United States and central Mexico.
Description.
Females are identifiable by being more robust than other "Melissodes"; darker hairs on inner side of basal joint of hind tarsi; flagellum, after the first two joints, bright rusty color on the underside; basal band of second abdominal (T2) segment broad and very white; hairs of thorax are paler near the head; eyes pale sea-green. Appears similar to easily be taken for an undersized "M. pallidicincta", but the much narrower face at once distinguishes it.
Ecology.
"M. verbesinarum" nectars on "Helianthus annuus" without pollinating it.
