Homalictus is a subgenus of bees in the genus Lasioglossum subfamily Halictinae of the family Halictidae. [1] [2] [3] They are found in Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, east across the Pacific to the Mariana Islands, Samoa, Fiji and are most prevalent in Australia. [4]

Homalictus is sometimes regarded to be a full genus, but studies have shown that Homalictus is embedded within Lasioglossum, forming a clade with other Australian members of the genus. [5] [2]

The subgenus Lasioglossum (Homalictus) contains over 150 species including the following (list incomplete): [6]
