Eutricharaea is the largest subgenus of the bee genus Megachile, comprising approximately 240 species.[1][2] They are native to Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.[3] Several species have been introduced to the Americas and New Zealand.[3] They range from 5 – 16 mm in length.[3] Many species are black, with pale hair bands on the abdomen.[1] Nesting usually takes place in pre-existing cavities, and the females use leaf discs and pieces of petal to construct the brood cells.[1]
