Hoplitis adunca is a solitary mason bee native to Europe. It is notable for its strict oligolectic foraging behavior, collecting pollen exclusively from plants in the borage family, such as viper's bugloss. This specialization makes it an important pollinator for these specific plant species in Euro...
Hoplitis anthocopoides is a solitary mason bee in the family Megachilidae, native to Europe and introduced into North America. It is closely associated with viper's bugloss and related plants, from which females gather pollen and material for nest construction. Instead of nesting in a deep cavity, t...
Hoplitis albifrons is a solitary bee in the family Megachilidae, commonly called the white-fronted small-mason bee. It is a cavity-nesting, generalist pollen-collecting species recorded across much of Canada and elsewhere in North America. The species overwinters as a mature larva, and nesting recor...
Why this score
White facial hairs and careful cavity masonry provide appealing natural history, yet limited documentation and modest ecological prominence constrain its standing.
Scoring methodology
Hoplitis producta is a solitary bee in the family Megachilidae, recorded in North America and also known by the common name prolonged summer mason bee.

Why this score
Competent mason bee and spring pollinator with respectable natural-history value, yet little separates it publicly from related solitary bees.
Scoring methodology
Hoplitis anthocopoides is a solitary mason bee in the family Megachilidae, with a natural range in Europe and parts of Asia and an introduced population in North America. It is distinguished by its use of chewed plant material and small stones in nest construction, and is relevant to people studying...
Why this score
Interesting masonry behavior and historical introduction provide natural-history value, but modest recognition and limited ecological distinction reduce consensus enthusiasm.
Scoring methodology
Hoplitis truncata is a solitary bee in the family Megachilidae, commonly called the truncate small-mason bee or square-tail summer mason bee. It is a cavity-nesting species that uses pithy stems or other small cavities, and females carry pollen on specialized hairs beneath the abdomen. Available rec...
Why this score
Standard solitary mason-bee traits and preexisting-cavity nesting offer ecological value, but little species-specific distinction is evident.
