There are a number of Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) species that are as small as Lasioglossum (Homalictus) which makes it difficult to identify the subgenus without seeing the underside of the abdomen. While the colour of the abdomen is reminiscent of L. (Homalictus) punctatus, neither the colour nor the surface sculpture of the thorax seems to match that species and some L (Chilalictus) species have red on the abdomen. And all that is before taking into account the variable colour of some species.
