Augochloropsis
''Augochloropsis'' is a genus of brilliant metallic, often blue-green, sweat bees in the family Halictidae. There are at least 140 described species in ''Augochloropsis''. Description and identification Species of the genus ''Augochloropsis'' are generally between 8 and 12 mm long and metallic, typically bright green or blue in color, with some exceptions such as gold, red, or purple.Mitchell, T. B. (1960). Bees of the eastern United States. ''Augochloropsis'' species can be differentiated from other Augochlorini at the genus level by the tegulae that are punctate, D-shaped, and bent inwards. Geographic distribution The genus ''Augochloropsis'' is restricted to the New World, and the vast majority of species are found in the tropical and subtropical regions.Choe, J. C., & Crespi, B. J. (Eds.). (1997). ''The evolution of social behaviour in insects and arachnids''. Cambridge University Press. Three ''Augochloropsis'' species are found in the temperate regions of North ...

Halictidae
Halictidae is the second-largest family of bees (clade Anthophila) with nearly 4,500 species. They are commonly called sweat bees (especially the smaller species), as they are often attracted to perspiration. Halictid species are an extremely diverse group that can vary greatly in appearance. These bees occur all over the world and are found on every continent except Antarctica. Usually dark-colored (frequently brown or black) and often metallic, halictids are found in various sizes, colors and patterns. Several species are all or partly green and a few are red, purple, or blue. A number of them have yellow markings, especially the males, which commonly have yellow faces, a pattern widespread among the various families of bees. The family is one of many with short tongues and is best distinguished by the arcuate (strongly curved) basal vein found on the wing. Females in this family tend to be larger than the males. They are the group for which the term 'eusocial' was first coined b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Augochloropsis Metallica
''Augochloropsis metallica'' or Metallic epauletted-sweat bee is a brilliant green species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae. Their native range encompasses Central America and extends into parts of North America, where they are commonly found in regions such as the Midwest The Midwestern United States (also referred to as the Midwest, the Heartland or the American Midwest) is one of the four census regions defined by the United States Census Bureau. It occupies the northern central part of the United States. It ..., Northeast, and the Southern United States. ''A. metallica'' was first named and classified by Fabricius in 1793. It originally included two subspecies, ''metallica'' and ''fulgida'', but a recent taxonomic study elevated ''fulgida'' to the status of a separate species ('' A. fulgida''). This revision ultimately resulted in the division of ''A. metallica'' into five species (''A. metallica,'' '' A. cuprea'', '' A. fulgida'', '' A. fulvofimbriata ...
