| The following material taken with permission from: Mitchell, T.B. 1962. Bees of the Eastern United States, Volume II. North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. Tech. Bul. No.152, 557 p. This genus of small anthophorid bees is primarily neotropical in distribution but is rather well represented in the Western United States, and four species have been collected in the eastern states. It differs from most other anthophorid bees in having a quite flat clypeus, this black in females, yellow or white in males of some species. Also, the well developed stigma is unusual. The marginal cell is quite large and elongate, the apex bent obliquely away from the coastal margin of the wing. The 2nd submarginal cell is much shorter than the 1st or 3rd. The hind tibiae and basitarsi have a very dense and conspicuous scopa of densely plumose hairs. Names |
