This species is known from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and southern Brazil ( Hurd, 1978; Moure, 2007). In Brazil, it has been recorded from the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul ( Silveira et al., 2002; Moure, 2007). Here it is newly recorded from the state of Minas Gerais. Females were collected, while foraging on flowers, during a brief survey of the bee fauna of the Serra da Canastra National Park, situated in a highland plateau in southwestern Minas Gerais. This represents the northernmost record for the species.
