Leioproctus (Leioproctus) spatulatus (Cockerell, 1905)

Paracolletes spatulatus * Cockerell 1905c: 483 ; 1906: 29.

Paracolletes providellus bacchalis * Cockerell 1914a: 138; 1934: 33. syn.n.

Paracolletes subviridus * Cockerell 1915c: 103 ; 1934: 36. syn.n.

Paracolletes pallidicinctus *Rayment 1953: 4 . syn.n.

Leioproctus (Leioproctus) bacchalis (Cockerell) View in CoL . Michener 1965: 50.

Leioproctus (Leioproctus) pallidicinctus (Rayment) View in CoL . Michener 1965: 51.

Leioproctus (Leioproctus) spatulatus (Cockerell) . Michener 1965: 52.

Leioproctus (Leioproctus) subviridus (Cockerell) . Michener 1965: 52.

The holotypes of P. spatulatus , P. bacchalis View in CoL and P. pallidicinctus View in CoL , which are all male, show no significant morphological variation. That of P. subviridus , which is a female, is the same as those females associated by morphological similarity and coincident collection data.

Description — The females of this species are difficult to identify if not collected with males, they are small (ca 8 mm) with a dark scopa, branched hair on the clypeus, inner hind tibial spur with about 8 teeth and with metasoma vaguely metallic. The most distinctive character of males, apart from the genitalia, is the orange colour of the hind tibiae and tarsi. For male S7–8 and genitalia see figs 79–81.
