Abstract
The first fossil halictine bees (Halictidae: Halictinae) are described from the Upper Miocene (Messinian) diatomites of the Konservat-Lagerstätte of Sainte-Reine, near Murat, France. Two partial specimens are documented, one of the subtribe Gastrohalictina with its characteristic weakened distal wing venation, and the other of the subtribe Halictina. The fossils are described as Lasioglossum (Dialictus) muratense sp. n. and Halictus? messinicus sp. n.
