Description As in most members of the tribe Eucerini, the antennae of males are very long. Old World ''Eucera'' can be identified through having five or six maxillary palpomeres, with the first flagellomere shorter than the scape and the clypeus protruding in front of the compound eye by at least the width of the eye in side view. These characteristics are found in both sexes. Additionally, the males have convergent carinae on their sixth ventral abdominal segment ( sternite). ''Eucera'' species nest in the ground.Michener, C. D. (2007) The bees of the world, second edition. Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore and London, 953 pp Morphology ''Eucera'' have a thick layer of fur and are dark in color. They have a protuberant clypeus and are typically around 0.4 to 0.7 inches long. The size of bees in the genus ''Eucera'' range from 11–18 mm. When ...
