Colletidae is a family of bees. It contains 5 subfamilies, 54 genera, and over 2000 species. They can be found all over the world, but the most species live in South America and Australia. Over 50% of all bees living in Australia belong to this family. Only the genera Colletes and Hylaeus can be found in the Northern Hemisphere.

Bee Phylogeny (489 words)
Colletidae is widely considered to be the most primitive bee family (Michener 1944, 1979, 2000; Alexander & Michener 1995).
The most recent evidence for the monophyly of this family was given by a molecular character: the presence of a unique intron in the F1 copy of EF-1alpha in all colletids sampled, but not in Stenotritidae or any other bee family (Brady & Danforth 2004).
Preliminary results confirm that Colletidae is monophyletic but the subfamily Colletinae is mostly likely paraphyletic, and will not be maintained as delimited by Michener (2000).
