Exoneura ploratula

The species occurs in eastern mainland Australia. The type locality is Sydney.^[2]

The adults are flying mellivores with sedentary larvae. They nest in dead, dry plant stems. Two or more adult females may occupy one nest, though not all females lay eggs. All the immature stages may be found in the communal chamber, with the larvae fed progressively. Flowering plants visited by the bees include Angophora, Bursaria, Callistemon, Jacksonia and Xanthorrhoea species.^[2]
