Halictus rotaensis
var.
hornbosteli
,
new variety
.
Clypeus and supraclypeal area with rosy tints, mesonotum and scutellum rosy pink, the scutellum brightly colored.
One specimen,
Rota Island
,
July 1925
.
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.
