Diagnosis.
According to Murao
et al
. (2006, 2015a), this species is separated from other east Asian members of
Lasioglossum
(
Dialictus
)
by a combination of the following character states: head wider than long in both sexes (length/width ratio =
0.91–0.94 in
female, =
0.94–0.98 in
male); mesepisternum punctate in both sexes; female metasomal terga dimly shiny; male metasomal sterna not modified; gonostylus of male genitalia small and budlike; and penis valve of male genitalia without cleft on top.
Distribution.
South Korea
, Russian Far East,
Japan
.
Flight period in South Korea.
Female: April to September. Males have not been recorded from South Korea. In Japan, males are collected from July to October (Murao 2014).
Flower records in
South Korea
.
The floral records are reported six species in six families by
Murao
et al
. (2015a)
.
Comments.
This species belongs to the
atroglaucum
group in the dissenting systematic (Murao
et al
. 2006;
Pesenko 2007a
, as a subgenus
Glauchalictus
). However,
L. miyabei
do not share all diagnostic character states redefined by
Murao
et al
. (2015a)
. It will need to be correctly determined using phylogenetic analysis in a future study (
Murao
et al
. 2015a
).
