 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

The Emphorini is a tribe of apid bees. The group comprises nine genera that can be found exclusively in the Americas [2] . Almost all species are oligolectic and are specialized on plants from the families Malvaceae, Convolvulaceae, Cactaceae, Asteraceae, Onagraceae and Pontederiaceae [3]. Unlike other bees from the Eucerinae subfamily, males from this tribe do not have long antennae[4].
