Halictus rotaensis, new species.</p> <p>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 1less 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.</p> <p>Rota Island, July 20, three specimens.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A4F8566F22D3F34FE948C98FBDCFBA4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Halictus swezeyi Cockerell.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Rota Island, July 23, eleven specimens.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A4F8566F22D3F34FE918AA9FBC4F938	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
