Abstract
The cleptoparasitic bee genus Microsphecodes Eickwort & Stage (Halictinae: Halictini: Sphecodina) is reported for the first time from Amazonian Brazil. The genus is represented there by a new species,Microsphecodes (Microsphecodes) amazonophilus sp. n.,
which is distinguished from its congeners based on coloration, clypeal proportions, and integumental sculpturing. A revised key is provided to the species of Microsphecodes s. str.
