Nesagapostemon Nesagapostemon Nesagapostemon is an extinct monotypic genus of sweat bee in the Halictidae subfamily Halictinae. At present, it contains the single species "Nesagapostemon moronei". The genus name "Nesagapostemon" is derived from a combination of the Greek "nesos", meaning "island", and "Agapostemon", a very similar genus of halictids which may be related.
