A review of the genera and subgenera of Oxaeinae (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)

Abstract

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.
