Type species: Rophites vitellinus Morawitz 1892 .</p><p>Differential diagnosis. ♀ and ♂. Eremaphanta are small desert bees (4–7mm) mostly yellow (Fig. 2). Like other Melittidae, Eremaphanta have a short tongue with all segments of the labial palpus similar to one another. Eremaphanta have two sub­marginal cells like others Dasypodainae but it’s the only genus with the stigma as long as the first submarginal cell. Like Hesperapis s.l., a patch of keirotrichia is extensively developed on the inner surface of the Tb3 (Fig. 7a–b).</p><p>Diagnosis. ♀ and ♂. Yellow areas at least on mandibles, labrum, clypeus and legs. Galea with short hairs on the outer margin (Figs. 8a–b). Galeal fringe present (Fig. 8b). Mandibles without pre­apical tooth. Malar space shorter than A2. Propodeal triangle hairless, longer than metanotum (Fig. 7c). Propodeum in profile with horizontal and vertical faces subequal (Fig. 7c). Basal vein curved (Fig. 3a). First submarginal cell twice as long as the second (Fig. 3a). Stigma large, transparent, about as long as costal margin of marginal cell; more than three times as long as prestigma (Fig. 3a). Second abscissa of Rs straight (Fig. 3a). Jugal lobe of hind wing equal to 2/3–3/4 of the vannal lobe length. Basitibial plate present. Tibial spurs finely serrated (Fig. 7b). ♀. Bt3 narrower than Tb3, longer than the other tarsomeres. Scopa developed on outer face of Tb3 and Bt3 (Fig. 7a). Keirotrichia extensively developed on inner face of Tb3 and Bt3 (Fig. 7a–b). External face of Tb3 and Bt3 with small reddish spots at the base of hairs. Pygidial plate, triangular to subtrapezoidal, hairless, transparent, without elevated median area, apex dorsally curved. Prepygidial and pygidial fimbriae absent. ♂. Hind margin of Tb3 with small reddish spots at the base of hairs. Tarsus 3 one and a half times as long as Tb3. Pygidial plate absent. S6 with dense apical pilosity (Figs. 3c, 5a, 8c). S7 without developed latero­apical structure (Figs. 1a, 3d, 4a, 6a, 8d, 9a). S8 with a short and narrow median groove on external side (Figs. 1b, 3e, 4b, 5b, 6b, 8g, 9b). Apical portion of S8 sloping upwards (Figs. 5b, 8f). Gonostylus simple, about as long as gonocoxite, broadly fused to it (Figs. 1c, 3b, 4c, 5e–f, 6c, 9c) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EA4E87B9E244FF8CFE12FB83FEE0FDCB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
