lanata
Woolly Wall Bee
Megachile lanata is a solitary leafcutter bee in the family Megachilidae, described by Fabricius in 1775. It is considered an invasive species in Pakistan and has been introduced to regions including Colombia and Florida. The species is an important pollinator of horticultural, ornamental, aromatic, and agricultural crops. Studies have documented its nesting behavior in pre-existing cavities and its foraging activity across diverse landscapes.
Megachile odontostoma
Megachile odontostoma is a species of leafcutter bee in the family Megachilidae, described by Cockerell in 1924. The species belongs to a large genus of solitary bees characterized by females that cut leaves or petals to line their nest chambers. As with other Megachile species, females carry pollen on specialized hairs (scopa) on the underside of the abdomen rather than on the hind legs. The specific epithet "odontostoma" refers to toothed mouthparts, though detailed morphological studies of this particular species remain limited.
Megachile pseudobrevis
southeastern little leaf-cutter bee
Megachile pseudobrevis, commonly known as the southeastern little leaf-cutter bee, is a solitary bee species in the family Megachilidae. It was described by Mitchell in 1935. As a member of the genus Megachile, it belongs to a diverse group of bees characterized by their leaf-cutting nesting behavior, though specific behavioral details for this species remain poorly documented. The species occurs in North America.
Megachilini
leaf-cutter bees, resin bees, leaf-cutter and resin bees
Megachilini is the most species-rich tribe within the bee family Megachilidae, comprising four genera: Megachile, Coelioxys, Noteriades, and Radoszkowskiana. The tribe is notable for the leaf-cutting behavior exhibited by many Megachile species, wherein females cut and process fresh leaves for nest construction using specialized interdental laminae—razor-like structures between the mandibular teeth. This morphological innovation may have triggered subsequent diversification within the group. The tribe also includes cleptoparasitic genera (Coelioxys and Radoszkowskiana) that exploit Megachile nests. Phylogenetic relationships within and among genera remain poorly resolved despite the group's high diversity and global distribution.
