Ptilothrix chiricahua

Ptilothrix chiricahua is a species of solitary ground-nesting bee. It was described in 2023. The holotype was collected in 2002 in New Mexico from a flower in the genus Kallstroemia. Like other Ptilothrix bees, they are noted for their ability to walk on water. They do this to retrieve water to soften the ground for nest excavation.
