Taxonomic Note
The context provided in the sources appears to conflate Triepeolus denverensis (a ) with Cicindela denverensis (a tiger ). The detailed ecological and morphological descriptions in the primary source refer to the tiger beetle Cicindela denverensis, not the bee Triepeolus denverensis. The GBIF and Catalogue of Life records correctly identify Triepeolus denverensis as a hymenopteran in Apidae, Nomadinae.
