Neotrypetes is a subgenus of the Heriades genus of bees and is the only group of Heriades in the Americas. Specifically they are found from southern Canada to Panama, but are mostly found in Mexico. It is identifiable by its lack of preoccipital and juxtantennal carinae and a scute that is strongly curved down anteriorly.[1]
The subgenus consists of 21 species:[2]
