The bee subfamily Alocandreninae contains only one genus and one species, Alocandrena porteri, which is found in Peru.[2] It seems to be restricted to the western side of the Andes Mountains.
It has been recorded throughout the year, suggesting multiple generations per year. Females collect pollen from Lycopersicon species.
