On a worlwide scale, the extant osmiine bees are currently grouped in 15 different genera and 56 non-nominotypical subgenera <\/span>comprising 1127 described species (Michener, 2007; Praz et al., 2008b; Sedivy et al., 2008; Ungricht et al., 2008; Ascher & Pickering, 2014). In the Palaearctic, 10 genera, 34 non-nominotypical subgenera and 666 described species occur. Below are listed the species numbers for the osmiine genera and subgenera worldwide (left figure) and in the Palaearctic (right figure), respectively.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
