[1]

Eucera is a genus of bees in the family Apidae subfamily Apinae and the tribe Eucerini - or long-horned bees.

Eucera plumigera, female

Description

As in most members of the tribe Eucerini, the antennae of males are very long. Old world Eucera can be identified through having 5 or 6 maxillary palpomeres, first flagellomere shorter than scape and clypeus protuberan in front of compound eye by at least the width of the eye in side view. All these characteristics are found in both sexes. Additionally, the males have convergent carinae on S6. Eucera species nest in the ground. Some species are important pollinators of alfalfa.[2]

Distribution

Eucera is holarctic. [2] It is present in most of Europe, in the East Palearctic ecozone, in the Near East, in North Africa and in the Oriental ecozone. [3]

This genus has 219 species of which 78 are known from Europe.[1]
