Apoidea, Anthophila, Andrenidae, OxaeinaeAbstract
The supraspecific groups of the bee subfamily Oxaeinae are briefly reviewed and a revised classification proposed. The following new groups are established: Mesoxaea (Heteroxaea) Engel, new subgenus; Oxaea (Rhodoxaea) Engel, new subgenus; and Oxaea (Percnoxaea) Engel, new subgenus. A key to the genera and subgenera of Oxaeinae is provided.Metrics
