Morphologically close genera and how to distinguish them:
Hylaeus is the only small, hairless bee species in Europe with 2 submarginal cells in which submarginal cell 1 is twice as large as submarginal cell 2, and with a bifid tongue.

General comments on Hylaeus species identification
Species identification is complex, based on criteria linked to the light markings but not only. Pilosity, structure of the propodeum, sternites, punctation of the mesosoma are also important. For males, the genitalia carry useful criteria to distinguish some of the species.

Sorry, but the species identification tool is not yet available for Hylaeus.
