Engel, 2011, by original designation.
Diagnosis.
Body elongate. Female mandible three to seven teeth with minutely roughened ridge. Punctures on mesoscutum and lower part of mesepisternum striated. Small appressed hairs on inner mandibular surface of adductor interspace present. In males, carina on T6 bilobed or lacks median emargination; posterior margin of T6 simple and without tooth.
Comments.
The subgenus
Pseudomegachile
Friese, 1898 is superficially similar to
Callomegachile
, in term of size and appearance. Females of
Pseudomegachile
can be recognized by the presence of long erected hairs on inner mandibular surface of adductor interspace, whereas males can be easily recognized by the presence of multidentate apical margin of T6.
