Examples

“Regarding the transport sites, apids, melittids, ctenoplectrids, and megachilids all show little variation whereas the other bee families display wide variation.”

“In further support of the antiquity of this clade is the widely disjunct distribution of some of its basal members among the dasypodaine melittids, as indicated in Sections 26 and 68 and Michener (1981a).”

“The relatively good fossil representation of melittids and their long-tongued associates has been argued to be a reflection of a bias in favour of resin-collecting bees.”
