How Can We Help?
In biology, Lipotriches is a large genus of sweat bees in the family Halictidae, distributed widely throughout the Eastern Hemisphere though absent from Europe. There are nearly 200 species in 9 subgenera. They commonly have prominent bands of hair on the margins of the metasomal segments.
Description and biology
Members of this genus are important pollinators of plants, especially grasses,[1] in fact 5 species of this genus from South Africa are recorded to gather grass pollen, with four doing so exclusively.[2] They often have more slender bodies relative to other nomiine bees.[citation needed]
