Hylaeus foveatus, a wasp-like bee, is a species of hymenopteran in the family Colletidae and the subfamily Analastoroides. 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". 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.
