The results of the illustrated cataloguing of the primary type specimens of bees of the families Halictidae and Andrenidae from the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) are presented. From 2018 to 2024, ten parts of the catalogue were published, containing data on 367 bee taxa. Of them 89 lectotypes were designated, new synonyms were given for 10 names, and the status of three taxa was changed. It was found that some of the primary types that should be kept in the ZIN collection were missing (Andrena - 12 species; Melitturga - 1 species).
