Diphaglossinae
Diphaglossinae is a subfamily of solitary bees in the family Colletidae, comprising nine genera and over 130 described species. The group is primarily distributed in the New World, with species found in Argentina, Chile, and other regions of South America. Nesting biology has been documented for several species, revealing distinctive architectural patterns including vertical brood cells with curved necks and main tunnels oriented vertically in soil or horizontally in banks. Some species exhibit gregarious nesting behavior, while others forage in dim light conditions.
