A small black Lasioglossum, added to the British list by Hawkins (2011). The female is unusual in having patches of flattened plumose hairs overlying the marginal areas posteriorly on the middle tergites, rather than anteriorly as is the norm for Lasioglossum. In the male the gena is produced backwards in the form of a variably developed triangular tooth. Lasioglossum sabulosum (Warncke), sometimes synonymised with sexstrigatum, is now considered a good species.

This is a minute species, superficially resembling Lasioglossum minutissimum (Kirby). It may have been overlooked at times because of its small size.

A very similar bee to the closely related Lasioglossum quadrinotatum (Kirby); the two species are best distinguished by characters of the male genitalia.

A very similar bee to Lasioglossum calceatum (Scopoli) but not as frequent as that species. The males are most easily separated by the possession of a yellow labrum, that of the male Lasioglossum calceatum being usually black or blackish. The females are more difficult but in albipes the propodeum is less sculptured posterolaterally. They are also smaller and with a longer, less-rounded face.

A large Hylaeus that is most often found at flowers of mignonette and weld.
