  • Revision of the South American species of Anthophorula Cockerell (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Exomalopsini). All South American species of Anthophorula belong to the subgenus Isomalopsis Michener & Moure. These bees occur in xeric areas of western Argentina, from the province of Salta to the province of Río Negro. Three new species are described: A. macrodonta n. sp., A. truncata n. sp., and A. uncicornis n. sp. A lectotype is designated for the type species of the subgenus, Tetralonia niveata Friese. The relationships among species are discussed. A key to the species, descriptions, distributional data, and illustrations are provided.
