Halictus pastinus Cockerell, 1937: 73 .

( Figs. 122a–g View FIGURE 122 )

Diagnosis. The male is unknown. The female is morphologically characterised by the body length of about 7,5mm, which is unusual in the subgenus Chaetalictus . Further, the female differs from other medium-sized species in having a slender abdomen and the basal area of the propodeum completely reticulate.

Female. Bl = 7,4–7,5mm. General habitus ( Fig. 122e View FIGURE 122 ). Head. L = 2,0mm; W = 2,1–2,2mm. Head slightly wider than long ( Fig. 122a View FIGURE 122 ). Integument black except mandibles and malar area partly reddish-brown. Face shiny and with loose, long, greyish, erect hairs. Mandibles bidentate. Clypeus and supraclypeal area convex in profile. Clypeus strongly and densely punctate; surface shiny. Supraclypeal area sparsely punctate; surface finely chagreened; shiny. Clypeoantennal distance 0,5mm. Paraocular area shiny; strongly and densely punctate; surface extensively sculptured. Antennae blackish-brown. Mesosoma. L = 1,5–1,6mm; W (ITS) = 1,8mm. Integument black; surface with a weak oily bluish shine; disc sparsely punctate (i = 2,5–3,0d); surface finely chagreened (mostly anteriorly) ( Fig. 122b View FIGURE 122 ). Scutellum as illustrated in Fig. 122c View FIGURE 122 . Scutum, scutellum, metanotum, mesepisternum and propodeum with greyish and pallid yellowish, erect hairs.
