Osmiini

Female Osmia coerulescens carrying masticated leaf, copyright Jeremy Early.


Belongs within: Megachilidae.
Contains: Megachilini.

The Osmiini are a group of megachilid bees with an arolium and an elongate pterostigma (Engel 2001). Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this group is paraphyletic to the Megachilini (Cardinal et al. 2010).

Characters (from Engel 2001): Arolium present; claws simple (rarely cleft). Pterostigma longer than wide; 2m-cu basad 2rs-m. Integument usually without maculations, frequently metallic or with metallic highlights.

  1. Looks like the paraphyly is shallow and easily solved by exluding Afroheriades. Any reason not to do that?

    1. I don't know; my general aim on this site is to represent what has been proposed in the literature rather than expressing my own preferred system. I should note that I probably don't have every genus of osmiin listed, though.
