Classification

The classification below shows the placement of all taxonomic entities included in this tool. Note that at this time, the tool only covers species that belong to the genus Apis (Family Apidae), the genera that belong to the family Megachilidae, the subgenera of Anthidium, Osmia, Megachile, and Ceratina, the species of Osmia (Osmia), and the Anthidium species of North America. The figure below shows a cladogram of bee family-level relationships based on one of the phylogenetic hypotheses concerning the relationships of the different bee families (Danforth et al. 2006; Michener 2007).

Hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships among bee families (Danforth 2006, Michener 2007).
