In
biology, ''Lipotriches'' is a large genus of sweat bees in the family
Halictidae, distributed widely throughout the
Eastern Hemisphere
The Eastern Hemisphere is the half of the planet Earth which is east of the prime meridian (which crosses Greenwich, London, United Kingdom) and west of the antimeridian (which crosses the Pacific Ocean and relatively little land from pole to pol ...
though absent from
Europe. There are nearly 200 species in 9 subgenera. They commonly have prominent bands of hair on the margins of the
metasomal segments.
Description and biology
Members of this genus are important
pollinators of plants, especially
grasses,
in fact 5 species of this genus from
South Africa are recorded to gather grass
pollen
Pollen is a powdery substance produced by seed plants. It consists of pollen grains (highly reduced microgametophytes), which produce male gametes (sperm cells). Pollen grains have a hard coat made of sporopollenin that protects the gametophyt ...
, with four doing so exclusively. They often have more slender bodies relative to other
nomiine bees.
