Abstract
The Neotropical cleptoparasitic bee Mesocheira bicolor (Fabricius, 1804) is recorded for the first time from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines based on four specimens held in the Natural History Museum, London. The addition of M. bicolor increases the known number of species from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to 34 species.
