Nesting biology-Nesting site: <\/strong>One brood cell was found about 5cm deep in a preexisting insect burrow in rather loamy ground. Nesting material: <\/strong>The urn-shaped cell, which had a length of about 11mm, entirely consisted of chewed green leaves, without admixture of sand or pebbles. However, the cell was over much of its length directly attached to the walls of the insect burrow so that it could not be removed from the burrow without damaging it. About 1mm below the cell, a partition of chewed leaves was built, separating the cell from the lower part of the burrow. (M\u00fcller, 2014a) <\/span><\/p>\n

Flower preferences: <\/strong>Probably oligolectic on Fabaceae with a distinct preference for Hedysareae (M\u00fcller, 2014a).<\/p>\n
