Diagnosis Both sexes of Lasioglossum enatum sp. nov.can be recognized by tegula punctate, extended posteriorly to form small angle, mesepisternum punctate and metasoma brown. The shape of the tegula distinguishes it from all other species of L. ( Dialictus) from Puerto Rico, except L. monense sp. nov.on Mona Island. The female of L. monense sp. nov.has a pale metasoma and obscure punctation on the supraclypeal area. The male of L. enatum sp. nov.has the mesoscutum and mesepisternum more polished and shiny than in males of L. monense sp. nov.Other members of the L. parvumspecies complex, to which it belongs, share this character. In the female, the complete absence of punctures on the apical impressed margins distinguishes L. enatum sp. nov.from L. parvumand L. busckiellum, which both have minute setose punctures in this area. In the male, the appressed sternal setae and dark tarsi distinguish L. enatum sp. nov.from L. parvum, which has sternal setae erect and tarsi pale.
Etymology The specific epithet enatumis a participle of the Latin enascor, meaning having sprouted or sprung forth.

Snelling (1993)also recorded this species from Schaefferia frutescensJacq. ( Celastraceae) as Lasioglossumsp. 1.
DNA barcodes Nine individuals were successfully sequenced (BOLD Process IDs: BOWGF3186-14, BOWGF3193-14, BOWGF3192-14, BOWGF3184-14, BOWGF3183-14, BOWGF3188-14, BOWGF3185-14, NTCOL187-15 and BOWGF3187-14). DNA barcodes are distinct from L. parvumsequences from Cuba ( Fig. 1), supporting the morphological characters used to recognize L. enatum sp. nov.
