Amegilla
1 species
Amegilla is a large genus of bees in the tribe Anthophorini.
The genus occurs all around the world, but very few live above 45° North. Amegilla are associated with arid and subarid biomes, matorrals, steppes, sub-deserts and deserts. They also commonly occur in farmlands, especially those that border their preferred habitats.
They are very fast, agile flyers, and because of this, some taxa are close to impossible to catch. This in combination with the fact that some species are known from only a few specimens means that their abundance and distribution is believed to be underestimated.
