The first fossil bee from Zealandia is described and figured from an excellent compression recovered from the middle Miocene Hindon Maar Fossil Lagerstätte of southern New Zealand. Leioproctus (Otagocolletes) barrydonovani n. subgen., n. sp. is represented by an impression of a nearly complete bee in dorsal view. The palaeohabitat of L. barrydonovani n. subgen., n. sp. was a Nothofagus/podocarp/mixed broadleaf forest and the species may have visited flowers of the araliaceous genus Pseudopanax K. Koch, today common throughout New Zealand. The fossil is compared with its modern congeners known in New Zealand.
Une abeille du miocène moyen du Hindon Maar, sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande (Hymenoptera, Colletidae).
La première abeille fossile de Zealandia est décrite et figurée à partir d'une excellente compression trouvée dans le gisement fossilifère du Miocène moyen du Hindon Maar au sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Leioproctus (Otagocolletes) barrydonovani n. sous-gen., n. sp. est représenté par une impression d'abeille presque complète en face dorsale. Le paléohabitat de L. barrydonovani n. sous-gen., n. sp. était une forêt mixte de Nothofagus/podocarpes/feuillus et l'espèce a peut-être visité des fleurs du genre araliacé Pseudopanax K. Koch, aujourd'hui commun dans toute la Nouvelle-Zélande. Le fossile est comparé avec ses congénères modernes de Nouvelle-Zélande.
