ANTHOPHORINI

Subgeneric classification follows Brooks (1988), and was verified by author Rasmont P. after examining type material. Type localities were added when the subgenus has been updated from the classification of Brooks. The floral preferences of this tribe are little known and require further investigations, especially in their eastern Mediterranean range.

Many specimens of this tribe could not be assigned to a species with a sufficient level of confidence, therefore we only list the taxa that could be confirmed through coloration and morphology and by comparison to type material.

All material examined determined by Rasmont P.

Genus Amegilla Friese, 1897
