Hesperapis Parva
''Hesperapis'' is a genus of bees in the family Melittidae. There are at least 30 described species in ''Hesperapis''.Michez D. (2008) ''Monographic revision of the melittid bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Melittidae sensu lato)].'' Proc. Neth. Entomol. Soc. Meet. 19: 31-39. The genus is very uncommon. Its abdomen is flattened and its integument or "skin" is soft compared to other groups of bees. Behavior One species, ''Hesperapis rhodocerata'', was recorded in one area in 2010 and 2015, appearing in those years but not the years in between. This suggests that their diapause may be prolonged over multiple years. Species These 37 species belong to the genus ''Hesperapis'': * ''Hesperapis aliciae'' (Cockerell, 1932) * ''Hesperapis arenicola'' Crawford, 1917 * ''Hesperapis arida'' Michener, 1936 * ''Hesperapis braunsiana'' (Friese, 1911) * ''Hesperapis carinata'' Stevens, 1919 * ''Hesperapis danforthi'' (Eardley, 2007) * ''Hesperapis elegantula'' Cockerell, 1898 * ''Hesperapis eumarph ...
