Amegilla indistincta or Amegilla (Zonamegilla) indistincta is a species of digger bee. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2017 by entomologists Remko Leys, Michael Batley and Katja Hogendoorn. [1] [2]
The specific epithet indistincta (Latin: “not distinguished”) refers to its not being previously distinguished among specimens of other species. [1]
The body length of the species is 12–14 mm, forewing length 9 mm. The tergal fur bands usually have a yellowish tint. [1]
The species occurs in the tropics and subtropics of eastern coastal Queensland. The holotype female was collected at Millstream Falls, the male allotype at Iron Range. [1] [2]
