West Palaearctic species. The only known record in Slovenia is Jarški prod, Črnuče near Ljubljana (pre-Alpine region).

Polylectic species, visiting mainly Fabaceae. Nests in burrows in sand, excavated by itself. Cells are made of scraps of leaves.

Univoltine. Flies from June to August.

 

Razširjenost vrste v Sloveniji.

Edino znano najdišče je Jarški prod na bregu Save pri Ljubljani. Ker je najdišče ogroženo zaradi odlaganja odpadnega materiala, je obstoj vrste vprašljiv.
