Like other members of the genus Eremobates, this species is native to arid and semi-arid regions of North America. The species name honors an individual, following the pattern of many Eremobates species named after collectors or researchers.

The genus Maricopodynerus is part of the vespid wasp family and comprises species that construct mud nests. Like other eumenine wasps, this species is solitary and provisions its nests with paralyzed prey for larval development.
