Epeolini

Genus Triepeolus Robertson, twelve taxa

    These bees are cleptoparasites of Apidae, mostly Melissodes, Svastra, Xenoglossa, Peponapis, and Eucera (=Synhalonia). Mitchell placed them in the genus Triepeolus but this is now considered a subgenus of Triepeolus. This is the only subgenus of this genus found in Florida. Three species, T. alachuensis, T. rufithorax and T. rugosus, are endemic to Florida.
