The article presents information on the bee genus Compsomelissa, that were found in Saudi Arabia. The species have a pale coloration, with large areas of yellow or white, and sometimes reddish metasoma, and due to this pattern of coloration, they can be easily recognized among other Allodapini. Compsomelissa ocellata were captured on shrubs and weeds surrounding a local mango farm in the Jazan province of Saudi Arabia.
