Lasioglossum lanarium Smith, 1853 | |
Lasioglossum lanarium is a species of bee endemic to Australia. [1] The species was described by Smith in 1853. [2]
Halictidae is the second-largest family of Anthophila bees. Halictid species occur all over the world and are usually dark-colored and often metallic in appearance. Several species are all or partly green and a few are red; a number of them have yellow markings, especially the males, which commonly have yellow faces, a pattern widespread among the various families of bees. The family is distinguished by the arcuate basal vein found on the wing.
The sweat bee genus Lasioglossum is the largest of all bee genera, containing over 1700 species in numerous subgenera worldwide. They are highly variable in size, coloration, and sculpture; among the more unusual variants, some are cleptoparasites, some are nocturnal, and some are oligolectic. Most Lasioglossum species nest in the ground, but some nest in rotten logs.
Isopogon trilobus, commonly known as barrel coneflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to south coastal regions of Western Australia. It is a shrub with wedge-shaped leaves with lobed or toothed leaves, and oval, spherical or barrel-shaped heads of cream-coloured to yellow flowers.
Lasioglossum zephyrus is a sweat bee of the family Halictidae, found in the U.S. and Canada. It appears in the literature primarily under the misspelling "zephyrum". It is considered a primitively eusocial bee, although it may be facultatively solitary. The species nests in burrows in the soil.
Lasioglossum sulthicum is a species of Hymenoptera from the Halictidae family. The scientific name of this species was first published in 1853 by Smith. This species can be found in Eastern Australia.
Lasioglossum hemichalceum, which has sometimes been confused with L. erythrurum, is a sweat bee endemic to Australia. Large numbers of unrelated females will typically share a single nest, a behavior referred to as "communal". Nests are constructed underground by the independent efforts of the females. L. hemichalceum will typically begin creating new colonies during the summer, with brood production from late November through the first few months of spring. Members of this species do not demonstrate aggressive behavior towards one another. As the size of the colony increases, the reproductive potential of each female does not change, unlike many species of bees.
Lasioglossum leucozonium, also known as Lasioglossum similis, is a widespread solitary sweat bee found in North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of northern Africa. While now a common bee in North America, population genetic analysis has shown that it is actually an introduced species in this region. This population was most likely founded by a single female bee.
Augochlorella is a genus in the bee family Halictidae, commonly called sweat bees. They display metallic coloration, ranging from reddish to gold to bluish green, as is typical for other genera in the tribe Augochlorini.
Lasioglossum floridanum, the Florida dialictu, is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae.
Lasioglossum coriaceum is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae. A common name is leathery sweat bee.
Lasioglossum oenotherae is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae.
Lasioglossum reticulatum, the reticulate dialictus, is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae.#
Homalictus is a subgenus of bees in the genus Lasioglossum subfamily Halictinae of the family Halictidae. They are found in Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, east across the Pacific to the Mariana Islands, Samoa, Fiji and are most prevalent in Australia.

Lasioglossum punctatum is a species of halictid bee found in Indonesia. It was first described in 1858 as Nomia punctata.
Lasioglossum imitatum is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae. It is known as the bristle sweat bee.
