Summary description from Wikipedia:
Alpigenobombus
Alpigenobombus is a subgenus of nectar-robbing bumblebees found in Palearctic. This subgenus is easily identified by the unique, six-toothed mandibles of the females, a specialized adaptation for robbing nectar from tubular flowers.
The taxonomy of this subgenus is complex, and the classification of its species has been subject of an ongoing debate.
