Context: The Oxaeinae are an exclusively American subfamily of the bee family Andrenidae, consisting of large (13-26 mm), fast-flying bees, often with large eyes. The four constituent genera, with a total of 19 described species, range from the United States to Argentina. Some resources still use the name Oxaeidae, and treat them as a family, but they were moved to subfamily status in 1995., Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their role in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the European honey bee, for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently considered as a clade Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in seven to nine recognized families, though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants., Andrena, commonly called the mining bee, is the largest genus in the family Andrenidae, and is nearly worldwide in distribution, with the notable exceptions of Oceania and South America. With over 1,300 species, it is one of the largest of all bee genera. Species are often brown to black with whitish abdominal hair bands, though other colors are possible, most commonly reddish, but also including metallic blue or green., The Andrenidae ( commonly known as mining bees ) are a large , nearly cosmopolitan family of solitary , ground - nesting bees . Most of the family 's diversity is located in temperate or arid areas ( warm temperate xeric ) . It includes some enormous genera ( e.g. , Andrena with over 1300 species , and Perdita with nearly 800 ) . One of the subfamilies , Oxaeinae , is so different in appearance that they were typically accorded family status , but careful phylogenetic analysis reveals them to be an offshoot within the Andrenidae , very close to the Andreninae ., Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a federal republic in the southern half of South America. Sharing the bulk of the Southern Cone with its neighbor Chile to the west, the country is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil to the northeast, Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Drake Passage to the south. With a mainland area of , Argentina is the eighth-largest country in the world, the second largest in Latin America, and the largest Spanish-speaking one. The country is subdivided into twenty-three provinces (singular "provincia") and one autonomous city ("ciudad autónoma"), Buenos Aires, which is the federal capital of the nation as decided by Congress.
The provinces and the capital have their own constitutions, but exist under a federal system., The bee subfamily Andreninae is a nearly cosmopolitan lineage, with most of its diversity in one genus, "Andrena", which contains over 1500 species. The remaining four genera in the subfamily only contain a total of 9 species., Oceania (or ), also known as Oceanica, is a region centred on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean. Opinions of what constitutes Oceania range from its three subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia to, more broadly, the entire insular region between Southeast Asia and the Americas, including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago., Subject: andrenidae, Relation: parent_taxon, Options: (A) andrena (B) andrenidae (C) andreninae (D) apoidea (E) area (F) argentina (G) insects (H) polynesia
