Genus Lasioglossum Curtis, 1833

63 species.

Sub-generic classification of Lasioglossum is complex, and no global consensus has yet been reached across all regions. We therefore present the classically used Old World subgeneric concepts and also add the likely subgeneric placement based on Gibbs et al. (2013) and Kuhlmann et al. (2021).
