Genus Hylaeus Fabricius

Hylaeus is a worldwide genus, with 46 subgenera, and more than 600 species described ( Michener, 2007). Only four species (one of them exotic) are cited for Argentina ( Compagnucci, 2014). In South America, almost 80 species were described, however, the genus is not revised, therefore many species are still undescribed for the region. Even, some native species were not attribut- ed to any subgenus of those currently constituted ( Compagnucci, 2014); while the exotic species Hyaleus punctatus (Brullé, 1832) , native of Mediterranean area of Palaearctic Region,belong to subgenus Spatulariella Popov ( Roig-Alsina, 2006) .
