Diadasia laticauda
Diadasia laticauda is a solitary bee species in the family Apidae, described by Cockerell in 1905. It belongs to the genus Diadasia, which comprises ground-nesting bees commonly known as cactus bees due to their specialized association with cactus pollen. Like other members of its genus, D. laticauda is likely a pollen specialist, though specific host plant associations for this species remain poorly documented. The species is native to North America.
