Epimelissodes is a genus of long-horned bees in the family Apidae found in North America. There are 20 described species in Epimelissodes. [1] In some online databases, these species are often presented within the genus Svastra Holmberg, 1884, [2] however, recent genomic focused studies such as Freitas et al., 2023 have increasingly demonstrated their distinction.
