Tribe Allodapini
Introduction
Molecular phylogenetic studies on allodapine bees are revealing insight into origins of eusociality (Schwarz et al. 2010) and evidence for biogeographical origins. Chenoweth & Schwarz (2011) support trans-oceanic migration of exoneurines between Africa and Australia, probably via Antarctica.
