Diagnosis. This species is similar to L. sakishima Ebmer & Maeta from Japan. It is separated from L. sakishima by the female mesoscutum with dense transverse ridges on its medio-anterior region (Fig. 2A) and the female mesoscutum and mesoscutellum mixed with dark hairs. In contrast, in L. sakishima , the female mesoscutum is reticulated among punctures on its medio-anterior region and the female mesoscutum and mesoscutellum have only yellowish brown hairs. Lasioglossum subopacum is also divided into two subspecies (Murao 2011), the nominotypical subspecies ranging from Korean Peninsula to Southeastern Asia, and L. subopacum okinawa Ebmer & Maeta from Japan (Ryukyu Islands). The nominotypical subspecies is separated from L. subopacum okinawa by the female propodeum and T1 basally with thick, yellowish tomentose hairs (Murao 2011, Figs. 20, 22). In the ssp. okinawa , the female propodeum and T1 basally has thinner whitish tomentose hairs (Murao 2011, Figs. 21, 23).
