Morphologically close genera and how to distinguish them
Osmia species have very short parapsidal lines and no elargement of the basitarsus of the anterior legs.
Hoplitis species tend to be larger, they have no elargement of the basitarsus of the anterior legs.
Chelostoma & Hofferia species have no long hairs at the apex of the labrum. Scutellum as long or longer than the ITD.
Heriades & Stenoheriades species do have a transverse carina on the T1.
Protosmia species have a marked propodeal triangle and a slender body-shape.
