Die Gattung Paraphecodes wurde 1853 von Smith aufgestellt. 

 Ich lasse seine Beschreibung folgen: 



„The species of this subdivision closely resemble in general 

 appearance those of the genus Sphecodes, but the females possess the 

 characteristic anal rima and also the appendage to the labrum of the 

 females of the genus Halictus; the males also have an elongate cylindrical 

 abdomen, and have the clypeus produced and yellow at the apex, as is 

 usual in the same genus ; the longue of f ers no positive destinction from 

 some of the species of Halictus, which differ in having that organ more 

 or less elongate and acute, but the superior wings have always the 

 first recurrent nervure united to the second transverso-cubital nervure. 

 All the species are from Australia and Van Diemens Land." 



Cockerell ging 1904 an die Bearbeitung dieser Gattung und an 

 die Deutung der Typen des Britischen Museums. Er erkannte ganz 

 richtig die nahe Verwandtschaft mit Halictus und stellte auch die 

 Angaben von Smith das Flügelgeäder betreffend richtig. 



,,Similar to Halictus, but with head and thorax black and ab- 

 domen red or largely so. Males with clypeus yellow, except at sides 

 above. This genus does not differ from Halictus in any good structural 

 character, and its Separation is only j ustified by the fact that it includes
