Thanks Bums
I am thinking shifting markings- this surely must be the word for it!

No, I would understand :
"Calypters small, the lower one is projecting over the upper one by 3/4" (my english is probably not the best).

I assume the sentence talk about calypters (cuillerons) : it means that the lower (thoracic) one is protruding.

Thanks Tony. Curious all those flies belong to different families but all of them have white face. Maybe that is useful to see inside burrows?

In the Dipterist's Handbook, Halictus are recorded as hosts of Thecophora and Zodion; Leucophora sociata; Metopia argyrocephala

I guess some Bombyliidae may parasitize on Halictus, perhaps Miltogramminae?
