see text Allodapula is a genus of bees in the family Apidae, subfamily Xylocopinae.

They are similar in appearance, around 7mm in length, with swarthy head and thorax, contrasting with the brown abdomen.

After the removal of a number of former species into other genera, the genus as presently defined occurs only in Africa.

[1] A set of eggs are laid inside the plant stalk, in quick succession, so as to hatch together.

[2] The larvae are fed on pollen, which like other bees, is carried on hairs of the hind pair of legs.
