Dasypodaidae

(2008) Monographic revision of the melittid bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Melittidae sensu lato)'' Proc. Neth. Entomol. Soc. Meet. 19: 31-39. found in Africa and the northern temperate zone, primarily in xeric habitats. They are typically small to moderate-sized bees, with shaggy scopa (biology), scopae, and are commonly oligolectic (e.g., ''Hesperapis regularis''). All members of this family have two submarginal cells in the forewing. Taxonomy Initial molecular work suggested that the family Melittidae was paraphyletic, and that its subfamilies (including Dasypodainae) should therefore be elevated to family status. However, these studies included very few melittids, due to their rarity. A 2013 investigation included a greater number of melittid bees and concluded that the family was probably monophyletic, thus supportin ...
