Xenoglossa is a genus of large squash bees in the family Apidae. There are about 11 described species in Xenoglossa. [1] [2] [3]
These 11 species belong to the genus Xenoglossa:
Diadasia is a genus of bees in the family Apidae. Its species are oligolectic, specialized on a relatively small number of plant species.
Calliopsis is a genus of panurgine bees in the family Andrenidae. There are over 80 described species distributed throughout the western hemisphere.
Epeolus is a genus of cuckoo bees in the family Apidae. They are often known as variegated cuckoo-bees. The species is uncommon to rare, and has strong patterns of black and white on the thorax and abdomen. These patterns are made of tiny fat hairs lying flush with the integument or "skin" of the bee. It is easily mistaken for Triepeolus, but is almost always smaller.
Habropoda is a genus of anthophorine bees in the family Apidae. There are at least 50 described species in Habropoda.
Dianthidium is a genus of leafcutter, mason, and resin bees in the family Megachilidae. There are at least 20 described species in Dianthidium.
Svastra is a genus of long-horned bees in the family Apidae. There are at least 20 described species in Svastra.
Eucera fulvitarsis is a species of long-horned bee in the family Apidae. It is found in North America.
Brachymelecta is a genus of cuckoo bees in the family Apidae, formerly known by the name Xeromelecta.
Dieunomia is a genus of sweat bees in the family Halictidae. There are about nine described species in Dieunomia. These bees are relatively uncommon, and are larger than almost every other genus in Halictidae other than Nomia. The wing has two submarginal cells, and the usual bent vein of the basal vein is only weakly present. The male has greatly dilated middle tarsi.
Anthidiellum is a genus of rotund resin bees in the family Megachilidae. There are more than 60 described species in Anthidiellum.
