Homalictus is a subgenus of bees in the genus Lasioglossum subfamily Halictinae of the family Halictidae.[1][2][3] They are found in Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, east across the Pacific to the Mariana Islands, Samoa, Fiji and are most prevalent in Australia .[4]

Homalictus is sometimes regarded to be a full genus, but studies have shown that Homalictus is embedded within Lasioglossum, forming a clade with other Australian members of the genus.[5][2]
