| Species: | Golden Haired Bee (Leioproctus (Goniocolletes) fimbriatinus)| This Photo: | 🔍S1, Female, Wing Venation🔎 | Synonym: | Goniocolletes fimbriatinus | Other name: | Fimbriate Goniocolletes | Thank you Peter Abbott (PeterAbbott) for identifying and Asaph Whelan (Asaph01) for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~8mm long Female. ~9mm long Male. We originally thought the male was Leioproctus (Leioproctus) maculatus, but questioned the amount of hairiness. We thought the female might be Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) sulthicum (syn: Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) sulthica) Peter said (referring to his id of the male) "More likely with that extensive orange hair on the face and thorax. Male is 9mm (bigger than L. macularus at 7mm).
