Leioproctus is a large genus of around 200 described species. They are medium sized bees which are mostly generalist foragers meaning they visit a variety of plant species for their nectar and pollen. These bees nest in the ground, often with the entrance to their burrow encircled by a conical mound of loose soil particles. The Leioproctus amabilis has a striking metallic green or golden sheen on the abdomen which is quite variable.
