33. Ceylalictus (Ceylalictus) communis ( Blüthgen, 1934) , Kuala Lumpur Steppe Bee

This tiny species has been sporadically recorded from 2015 to 2021. We recently discovered it nesting in manmade fitness areas containing beach sand in semi-urban parks in Katong and at Kent Ridge, and it is likely to also utilise natural sandy shores for nesting. Targeted surveys in coastal habitats across Singapore may clarify its pollen hosts, natural nesting sites, and status.
