Phylogenomics and biogeography of the cleptoparasitic bee genus Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), with a revised subgeneric classification of Triepeolus and its sister genus, Epeolus Latreille Filogenómica y biogeografía del género de abejas cleptoparásitas Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), con una clasificación subgenérica revisada para Triepeolus y su género hermano, Epeolus Latreille

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
A subgeneric classification is proposed for Triepeolus—the second‐largest genus of cleptoparasitic apid bees in the world—and its sister genus Epeolus, with support from a newly presented dated phylogeny. Phylogenomic analysis based on ultraconserved elements revealed strong support for the monophyly of Triepeolus, which diverged from Epeolus sometime ...
