Xenoglossodes pomonae
Xenoglossodes pomonae is a junior synonym of Tetraloniella pomonae (Cockerell, 1915), a species of long-horned bee in the family Apidae. The genus Xenoglossodes was established as a replacement name but has been synonymized under Tetraloniella. As a member of the tribe Eucerini, this species belongs to a group of solitary bees commonly known as long-horned bees due to the elongated antennae of males. The specific epithet "pomonae" suggests an association with apple (Malus pumila), though the precise host plant relationships require confirmation.
