Abstract
A taxonomical key was prepared that could be used to separate the Iraqi genera
of the wild bees in the family of the leaf cutting bees Megachilidae – Hymenoptera.
The prepared key depended manily on the most important characters of the
mouthparts of the adult males and females of the bees. The most important characters
of the mouthparts were illustrated photographically. The Iraqi genera of
Megachilidae included were five previously recorded in Iraqi which are
(Megachile ,Chalicodoma ,Coelioxys ,Anthidium , Anthidiellum ) and two genera
recorded in the present study which are (Osmia , Icteranthidium ) .
