Hylaeus foveatus, a wasp-like bee,[2] is a species of hymenopteran in the family Colletidae and the subfamily Analastoroides.[1] It is found in Victoria and New South Wales in Australia.[1]
It was first described as Analastoroides foveata by Tarlton Rayment in 1950,[1][2] from a female specimen collected at Jamberoo. Rayment described the females as "feverishly active on hot days".[2] In 1981, T.F. Houston revised the generic status of Analastoroides, making it a subgenus of Hylaeus, and thus giving this species the name, Hylaeus foveatus.[3]
