Tribe PROTEPEOLINI 



This is a small group found only in the Americas. In addition to the genus Protepeolus it con- 

 tains Isepeolus and possibly one other Neotropical genus.

Tribe EPEOLOIDINI 



Although there is a South American species attributed to the genus Epeoloides, the tribe is 

 apparently represented only in the Holarctic Region by the genus Epeoloides. It is believed that 

 the species are cleptoparasitic in the nests of the melittid genus Macropis.
