They are typically found throughout the southern and western parts of the United States. They can be found between Utah and Mexico, and between California and Texas. The thorax is covered with long hairs that give it a creamy white color, while the abdomen is completely black.

Females will bite horses, livestock, and humans, making them vectors of disease for pathogens and parasites.
