Lasioglossum (Chilalictus)

HomalictusHomalictus dotatus Homalictus urbanus

Chilalictus is a subgenus of the genus Lasioglossum, and (at the time of writing 22 November 2023) there were 139 species listed within Atlas of Living Australia – from Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) abrophilum Walker, 1995 to Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) xerophilum Walker, 1995. Some sources say that there are more then 200 species.

Identifying the Lasioglossum Chilalictus and Homalictus can sometimes be confusing. One of the main difference is the shape of the abdomen and the type of hair beneath it (although this can be difficult to see in the field). With the Homalictus, the under side of the abdomen should be relatively flat.
