Overview

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. As the name suggests, Trieopeolus is closely related to Epeolus, with the body ornamented with spots or bands of pale, appressed tomentum giving them a wasplike appearance, and the axillae usually well developed, more or less acutely pointed posteriorly. Triepeolus differs from Epeolus in having 3-segmented maxillary palpi and the marginal cell in the front wing is narrower and more elongate, its length usually exceeding the distance from its tip to the apex of the wing. In the females tergum 5 is modified to form a quite extensive pseudopygidium which is shortsetose or pubescent, its length usually equal to its breadth. Sternum 6 is composed of a pair of slender, parallel rods joined at the base by a transverse sclerite, these rods multispinose apically. Males are more difficult to separate from those of Epeolus but may be recognized by the difference in the maxillary palpi and marginal cell. Also the average size in Triepeolus is greater. So far as present knowledge indicates, these are parasitic on Melissodes and possibly some of the other related eucerine genera.
