In biology, Lipotriches is a large genus of sweat bees in the family Halictidae, distributed widely throughout the Eastern Hemisphere though absent from Europe. There are nearly 200 species in 9 subgenera. They commonly have prominent bands of hair on the margins of the metasomal segments.

Description and biology

Members of this genus are important pollinators of plants, especially grasses, ^[1] in fact 5 species of this genus from South Africa are recorded to gather grass pollen, with four doing so exclusively. ^[2] They often have more slender bodies relative to other nomiine bees.^{[ citation needed ]}
