The type specimens of the family Halictidae, described by Ferdinand Morawitz from the collection of Aleksey Fedtschenko deposited in the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University and in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg (Russia), are critically reviewed. Precise information with illustrations of types for 43 taxa is provided. Lectotypes are here designated for the following seven nominal taxa: Halictus aprilinus Morawitz, 1876, H. cingulatus Morawitz, 1876, H. laevinodis Morawitz, 1876, H. limbellus Morawitz, 1876, H. nasica Morawitz, 1876, H. rhynchites Morawitz, 1876 and H. vulgaris Morawitz, 1876.

Insects contribute majority of pollination activities in the world and among them bees representing as the most economically valuable pollinators. Due of its eusocial behaviour, honey bees are believed to be the most promising insect group for pollinating crop plants. However, a variety of anthropogenic activities that have resulted in habitat loss or alteration, misuse of pesticides, development of parasites and diseases, and introduction of alien species have caused a rapid fall in honey bee numbers, raising concerns about the pollination services provided throughout the world. In addition, a lot of plants have developed sophisticated pollinator-favouring mechanisms, such as poricidal anthers, restricted nectar production and primary specialised pollen release systems, which make honey bees unfavourable in these plants' pollination processes. Therefore, diversifying crop pollinators might assist in achieving pollination services when the usual pollinator (honeybees for the majority of crops today) is not present in adequate numbers. In this situation, native non-Apis bees will provide a solution to the impending pollinators' dilemma in the scenario of global pollination. Non-Apis bees have several advantages over honey bees, and they can flourish with basic management techniques unlike honey bees. But little is known about these wild bee pollinators, limiting their use in pollination activities. Thus, the present article lightens up about this major group of non-Apis bee pollinators focusing their diversity, nesting biology, pollination role as well as management practices.

“…The question of where the zoogeographical boundary exists between the Oriental and the Palaearctic regions in China has been discussed by many researchers working on various groups of animals ( Emeljanov 1974 , Hoffman 2001, Fellowes 2006 , Chen et al 2008 , Heiser and Schmitt 2013 , He et al 2017 ). In this paper, the views of Pesenko (2007) and Astafurova (2013) are followed for halictid bees, which posit that the approximate border between Palaearctic and Oriental Regions in China lies between 30°–35° northern latitude.…”

The available information about the cleptoparastic bees of the genus Sphecodes in the Palaearctic part of China is summarized. Twenty-four species are currently known from this area including 16 newly recorded. Based on type specimens, new synonymies have been proposed for Sphecodescristatus Hagens, 1882 = S.alfkeni Meyer, 1922, syn. n.; S.longulus Hagens, 1882 = S.subfasciatus Blüthgen, 1934, syn. n.; S.nippon Meyer, 1922 = S.kansuensis Blüthgen, 1934, syn. n.; Sphecodespieli Cockerell, 1931 = S.orientalis Astafurova & Proshchalykin, 2014, syn. n. Lectotypes are designated for Sphecodesalfkeni Meyer, 1922 and S.pellucidusniveipennis Meyer, 1925. Illustrated keys to males and females of all species known from Palaearctic China and an updated checklist of the 33 Chinese species of Sphecodes are provided.
