Anthophora
The bee genus ''Anthophora'' is one of the largest in the family Apidae, with over 450 species worldwide in 14 different subgenera. They are most abundant and diverse in the Holarctic and African biogeographic regions. All species are solitary, though many nest in large aggregations. Nearly all species make nests in the soil, either in banks or in flat ground; the larvae develop in cells with waterproof linings and do not spin cocoons. Males commonly have pale white or yellow facial markings, and/or peculiarly modified leg armature and hairs. ''Anthophora'' individuals can be distinguished from the very similar genus ''Amegilla'' by the possession of an arolium The arthropod leg is a form of jointed appendage of arthropods, usually used for walking. Many of the terms used for arthropod leg segments (called podomeres) are of Latin origin, and may be confused with terms for bones: ''coxa'' (meaning hip, pl ... between the arthropod leg, tarsal claws.

The hairy-footed flower bee (''Anthophora plumipes'') is a species of bee belonging to the family Apidae. Distribution These bees are widespread in most of Europe and Asia from Britain to China and Japan, the Near East and in North Africa. In the 20th century, the species was introduced to the United States. The species was spotted for the first time in Ireland in April 2022. Habitat The ''hairy-footed flower bees'' commonly inhabit gardens, open woodland, and coastal sites. Description The adults of ''Anthophora plumipes'' grow up to long. There are numerous color forms over the species' geographic range, which have resulted in this species being described under many different names. This species shows an evident sexual dimorphism. The body is always densely hairy. Males have most often bright reddish brown or gray hair, while females are usually all black or dark brown. Furthermore, the females show reddish orange scopal hairs on the hind tibia. The middle legs of males ar ...

Anthophora Retusa
''Anthophora retusa'', the potter flower bee, is a species of solitary digger bee. Distribution ''A. retusa'' is generally found in Western Europe and southern Sweden. In the United Kingdom, ''A. retusa'' is thought to be limited to five sites, including Seaford Head Nature Reserve. Identification ''A. retusa'' can be differentiated from ''Anthophora plumipes'' by the hind-tibial spurs; in ''A. plumipes'' they are black while in ''A. retusa'' they are yellow or yellow-brown. Habitat ''A. retusa'' prefers sandy soils and is generally found on coastal dunes and cliffs as well as inland on commons and heathlands. Population ''A. retusa'' has suffered population decline since the Second World War but undergone rapid decline since the 1990s, similar to that seen in some bumblebee species. It is an endangered species An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endanger ...

Anthophora Bimaculata
''Anthophora bimaculata'' (also called green-eyed flower bee) is a species of bees. Description They are 8-9 mm long. The male has narrow light tergite bandages, yellow face and normally hairy middle legs clearly visible in the field. The females are Clypeus yellow, but at the base with 2 large black spots, tergite 4 and 5 gray-yellow tomentose hairs, tergias with light hair ties in the field clearly recognizable. Both genders have olive green complex eyes and one very high, clearly perceptible flight sound. Habitat is important for identification. Range In North Africa from Morocco to Libya; a report by FRIESE (1915) from Eritrea is questionable. From Portugal through southern, central and eastern Europe, Ukraine and southern Russia to eastern Siberia (Central Baikal) and across Asia Minor and the Caucasus to Iran and Kyrgyzstan; north to Central England (allegedly also recently detected in Ireland), Denmark, Latvia, Kirov; south to Sicily (also on Corsica, no evidence from ...

Anthophora Dispar
''Anthophora dispar'' is a species of bee belonging to the family Apidae subfamily Apinae tribus Anthophorini. Description The adults of these long-tongued bees grow up to long and can be encountered from early Spring, feeding and collecting pollen and nectar on early flowering plants. The body is densely hairy. The middle legs of males are very elongated with long tufts of black hairs on the tarsi. Males and females have a different pattern and color so that they seem to belong to two distinct species (hence the Latin name "dispar"). In the females the brushes for collecting pollen on their hind legs are red and the abdomen shows white stripes, while it is black in males. Distribution They are present in most of France, Italy, Hungary and in North Africa North Africa, or Northern Africa is a region encompassing the northern portion of the African continent. There is no singularly accepted scope for the region, and it is sometimes defined as stretching from the Atlantic ...
