Descrizione:A comparative study of the pollen press and its associated structures in the bees of the family Apidae shows the following: 1) in the Meliponinae it is usually poorly developed; 2) in the Apini and Bombini it is well developed, with its surface extended into an auricle; 3) in the Euglossini it is also well developed but without an auricle. The pollen press is associated with an enlargment of the external and posterior border of the distal tibial foramen, forming a dome-like swelling: the tibial bulla.
