5A4F8566F22D3F34FE948C98FBDCFBA4.taxon	description	Head ordinary, face rather narrow (head smaller and face much narrower than in H. saffordi); apical part of flagellum variably reddish beneath; tongue short and pointed; head dull dark green, supraclypeal area shining; face, cheeks, sides of thorax and metathorax with thin white hairs; mesothorax and scutellum peacock green, not distinctly polished; metathorax (propodeum) very dark bluish, the basal area with fine plicae, tegulae shining red; wings grayish, with large dark stigma; outer intercubitus very pale; first recurrent nervure joining second cubital cell well before the end; legs dark brown, abdomen broad, without hair bands, dark purplish, with the hind margins of the tergites more or 1 less pallid; as in related species, there is a ventral scopa of curled hairs, collecting pollen. Under the microscope the mesonotum and area of metathorax are seen to be minutely tessellate; mesonotum with very minute punctures, area of metathorax with irregular plicae. Length, about 5.5 mm.; anterior wing, 4.3 mm.	en	Cockerell, T. D. A. (1942): Halictine Bees from Rota Island. In: Insects of Guam I. Honolulu, Hawaii: Bernice P.

5A4F8566F22D3F34FE918AA9FBC4F938.taxon	discussion	I cannot clearly separate these from H. swezeyi which occurs on Guam. On the average, the abdomen is a darker, bluer green, but it is variable. They are less robust than H. saffordi, the area of metathorax has denser plicas, and the first recurrent nervure joins the third cubital cell (in H. saffordi it joins the second). In both sexes of H. swezeyi from Guam, I find the first recurrent nervure meeting the intercubitus.	en	Cockerell, T. D. A. (1942): Halictine Bees from Rota Island. In: Insects of Guam I.

5A4F8566F22D3F34FE91813FFC96F59D.taxon	discussion	I give this a name as it has a very distinctive appearance. Typical H. rotaensis, seen from in front, looks almost exactly like H. crotalariae Cockerell from New Caledonia, which however has a shining, olive-green abdomen.	en	Cockerell, T. D. A.
