Unfortunately, Lasioglossum hiltacum is one of the species that can be separated only with the aid of a microscope. L. leichardti can be identified (not with 100% certainty) by the orange hair on the thorax and L. bryotrichum by the paler colour of the abdomen, but many other L. (Parasphecodes) species can be separated only by detailed examination.
