This bee's nest architecture is described by Sakagami and Michener (1962) as Caenaugochlora chloris. From Sakagami and Michener (1962): Nest architecture is Type IIIb: Lateral burrows are very short or absent such that cells are almost attached to the burrow walls at a right angle. The cells are not spatially concentrated in one part of the burrow, and project from the main burrow all on one side. Sometimes have cavities around the cell cluster created by burrowing around the cell cluster. Or nest architecture is Type IIIc: Lateral burrows are very short or absent such that cells are almost attached to the burrow walls at a right angle. The cells are not spatially concentrated in one part of the burrow, and project from the main burrow all on one side. Sometimes have cavities around the cell cluster created by burrowing around the cell cluster. Flat ground is the only or typical substrate used for nesting. Nests, but not cells, are re-used by subsequent generations. Called Caenaugochlora chloris by Sakagami and Michener.
