Icteranthidium laterale, the lateral-spotted yellow-resin bee, is a species of bee from the family Megachilidae. 4e The origin of the name is from Latin "lateralis" meaning "concerning the side, side-", referring to the yellow patches on the sides of the abdomen. The habitat of the species is areas with a steppe character, and dry and warm locations, from the plains up to the mountain altitude.
They nest in cavities in the ground. A nest contains up to one dozen brood cells made entirely of resin. Their flight period is one generation from June to September.
