Dasyhesma simulata is a species of bee in the family Colletidae and the subfamily Euryglossinae. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2004 by Australian entomologist Elizabeth Exley.[1][2]
The specific epithet simulata (Latin: “similar”) refers to the similarity of this species to its congener Dasyhesma galbina.[1]
