The genome sequence of the Small Scabious Mining Bee, Andrena marginata Fabricius, 1776.

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Andrena marginata (the Small Scabious Mining Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence spans 373.60 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.16 kilobases in length.

The genome sequence of Gwynne's mining bee, Andrena bicolor Fabricius, 1775.

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Andrena bicolor (Gwynne's mining bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence is 351.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.02 kilobases in length.

The genome sequence of the fork-jawed nomad bee, Nomada ruficornis (Linnaeus, 1758).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Nomada ruficornis (the fork-jawed nomad bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence is 273.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.66 kilobases in length.

The genome sequence of the painted nomad bee, Nomada fucata (Panzer, 1798).

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Nomada fucata (the painted nomad bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence is 264.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 22.06 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 10,173 protein coding genes.

The genome sequence of the common green furrow bee, Lasioglossum morio (Fabricius, 1793).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Lasioglossum morio (the common green furrow bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Halictidae). The genome sequence is 547 megabases in span. Over half of the assembly (55.79%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled, and is 16.8 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,460 protein coding genes.

Two new species of Pseudapis Kirby, 1900 (Hymenoptera: Halictidae: Nomiinae) from Oman.

Two new species are described in the genus Pseudapis: P. kuhlmanni Pauly & Monks, and P. lisetae Pauly & Monks, both from Oman. Their distributional and flower-visiting data are presented, and they are diagnosed and differentiated from other species in the genus.

The genome sequence of the box-headed blood bee, Sphecodes monilicornis (Kirby, 1802).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Sphecodes monilicornis (the box-headed blood bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Halictidae). The genome sequence is 497 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (95.04%) is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.6 kilobases in length.

The genome sequence of the furry-claspered furrow bee, Lasioglossum lativentre (Schenck, 1853).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Lasioglossum lativentre (the furry-claspered furrow bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Halictidae). The genome sequence is 479 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (75.22%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled, and is 15.3 kilobases in length.

A review of digger wasp genus Harpactus Shuckard, 1837 (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) of the Indian subcontinent, with description of a new species and rediscovery of Harpactus impudens (Nurse, 1903).

The digger wasp genus Harpactus Shuckard (Crabronidae: Bembicinae) of the Indian subcontinent is reviewed, resulting in the discovery of a new species H. pulawskii Binoy & Girish Kumar and the rediscovery of H. impudens (Nurse) after more than a century since its description. All species are illustrated, including the holotypes of H. ornatus F. Smith and H. vividus (Turner) whose illustrations were provided by the Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK). Brief diagnoses and a key to species are also given.

Additions to the knowledge on the genus Philanthus Fabricius, 1790 (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae: Philanthinae) from the Indian subcontinent.

Additional information on the genus Philanthus Fabricius from the Indian subcontinent is provided, with a key to species. Two new synonymies are proposed: Philanthus avidus Bingham, 1896 and P. scrutator Nurse, 1902 are synonymised under P. basalis F. Smith, 1856. P. nepalensis Bingham and P. triangulum Fabricius are reported for the first time from India. The distribution data of P. basalis F. Smith, P. dentatus Cameron, P. depredator F. Smith, P. pulcherrimus F. Smith, and P. ramakrishnae Turner within various states of India are augmented.
