Abstract
The type specimens for names of bee taxa in the genera Halictus Latreille, 1804 and Sphecodes Laterille, 1804 of family Halictidae deposited in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) are reviewed. Name-bearing types of 39 species and subspecies are illustrated and detailed information is provided (taxa include 15 described by F. Morawitz; nine by Yu. Pesenko; eight by P. Blüthgen; five by Yu. Astafurova & M. Proshchalykin; and two by E. Eversmann). Lectotypes are designated for Halictus flavocallosus Morawitz, 1894, and H. tataricus Blüthgen, 1933.
