 Comments
       
  Comment: "Etymology: The new genus-group name [Cremnomegachile Gonzalez and Engel, 2019] is a combination of the Greek word, kremnos, meaning overhanging wall, in reference to the projected and anterior-facing surface of the mesosctutum, and the generic name Megachile. The gender of the name is feminine...although Megachile is a neuter pleural and should be nomenclaturally considered masculine, precedence is to consider names based on chile, meaning, lip or rim, to be feminine
