Coelioxys fenestratus is a species of leaf-cutting bee in the genus Coelioxys, of the family Megachilidae. It is found in India,[2] and recordings from Sri Lanka are uncertain. It is also found in Korea, Japan, and China[2][3]

The species was first described in 1873 by Frederick Smith[1] as Coelioxys fenestrata,[4] who described a female collected in Hakodadi, North China:

Female. Length 7 1/2 lines. Black: head and thorax coarsely rugose; the first, second and third segments of the abdomen evenly and rather strongly punctured; the two following segments very finely punctured at the base, and more strongly so towards their apical margins; the sixth segment elongated and acute, the inferior plate of the segment prolonged a little beyond the upper one; on each side of the scutellum is a short tooth which is curved downwards. The face densely clothed with short bright fulvous pubescence; the wings dark fuscous, with their base hyaline. The apical margins of the segments of the abdomen are very narrowly fringed with white pubescence.[4]
