Sphecodes es un género de abejas de la familia Halictidae. La mayoría son de colores negro y rojo.[1] Sphecodes son cleptoparásitas de otras abejas especialmente de los géneros Lasioglossum, Halictus y Andrena. Los adultos consumen néctar y como son parasíticas no coleccionan polen para sus crías.[2] Son de distribución mundial
