Coelioxys Sodalis
''Coelioxys sodalis'' is a bee from the family Megachilidae, one of numerous kleptoparasitic bees in the tribe ''Megachilini''. Members of the genus ''Coelioxys'' exhibit kleptoparasitic behavior in that they lay their eggs in the nests of other bees, typically those of the related genus ''Megachile''. As this behavior is similar to that of cuckoos, such bees are referred to as cuckoo bees. These host-parasite relationships are complex Host insects of the brood parasite ''C. sodalis'' include '' Megachile melanophaea'', ''M. texana'', and '' M. rotundata''. Taxonomy and naming The species was originally described in the ''Transactions of the American Entomological Society'' by Ezra Townsend Cresson in 1878. Range and distribution ''Coelioxys sodalis'' are distributed across the northern portions of the North American continent from Alaska and British Columbia and Northwest Territory eastward across to Nova Scotia and the New England states, according to Mitchell.
