Hylaeus sanguinipictus is a bee species endemic to Western Australia.

It was described in 1914 from material collected in Yallingup by Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell as Prosopis sanguinipicta.

[1] Like its relative the banksia bee (Hylaeus alcyoneus), H. sanguinipictus's expression of sexual dimorphism is unusual — the males of the species are larger than the females; in most other types of bee, females are larger than males.

The males perch and defend Banksia inflorescences while waiting to mate with females, and combat other males.

[2] Western Australian banksias that the bee has been recorded visiting include B. menziesii and B.
