Colletes xuezhongi ; Ascher & Pickering 2021.

Diagnosis. The female of C. xuezhongi (the male remains unknown) is recognizable through the following combination of features: bees relatively small (HW 2.7–2.8 mm), clypeus relatively sparsely punctate (i=1.0–2.0 complete apical band in the latter) and the T2 has a distinct basal band (T2 without basal band in the latter). Females of C. xuezhongi are also similar to those of C. inspersus , but they can be differentiated by the malar area 0.75× as long as basal width of mandible in the former (malar area 1.0× as long as basal width of mandible in the latter) and the paraocular area with only pale-yellow hairs in the former (paraocular area with pale-yellow and black hairs intermixed in the latter).
