Habralictus Moure, 1941

Smith-Pardo, Allan, 2009, A new species of Habralictus (Hymenoptera, Halictidae) from the Island of Grenada (Lesser Antilles) with comments on the insular species of the genus, ZooKeys 27 (27), pp. 51-58 : 53

Genus Habralictus Moure

Comments. Previous authors have recognized two subgenera – Habralictus s.str. and Zikaniella – based on characters such as the width of head and genae, the concavity of the clypeus, and the shape of the metatibial spur serrate or pectinate ( Michener 2007). The species described herein combines some of these characters (clypeus not concave and flat, genae narrower than compound eyes, and pectinate metatibial spurs), supporting the unification of the subgenera as used by Moure et al. (2007).
