''Eucerinoda'' is a genus in the
bee Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their roles in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamil ...
family Apidae, subfamily Apinae. Only one species is described: ''Eucerinoda gayi'', which is known only from central Chile. ''Eucerinoda'' belongs to the long-horned bee tribe Eucerini, but is one of the species in which the males have relatively short antennae. It is the sister taxon to all other species of Eucerini. ''Eucerinoda'' seems to restrict its pollen foraging to flowers of the family Asteraceae, although additional sources may be used for nectar.
