It can be separated from E. simillima by the length of the glossa (reaching mesotrochanter in E. coerulescens vs. reaching metatrochanter in E. simillima), presence of a longitudinal median depression on clypeus (absent in E. simillima), outer surface of mesotibia with area between the medial margin of the posterior felty patch and the anterior margin of tibia pubescent throughout except for small area apically (half bare apically in E. simillima), and by the body color (largely metallic green in the male of E. coerulescens vs. dark blue with violet hues in both sexes of E. simillima). In addition, both species are geographically separated: E. simillima is restricted to the western slope of the Cordillera of Chihuahua whereas E. coerulescens is more widely distributed, occurring along the Sierra Madre Oriental and eastern Mexico. From E. oliveri, which shares the same body coloration, it can be separated by the length of the glossa (reaching S2 in E. oliveri), punctation of T2 (punctures on disc separated by at least half a puncture width in E. coerulescens, closer in E. oliveri), and posterior felty patch of mesotibia, which is broader medially than apically (about the same width across its length in E. oliveri). The female can be recognized by the following combination of features: glossa extending to metatrochanter; dorsum of mesosoma with pubescence not obscuring integument; metasoma with apical terga and sterna with white setae at least laterally; T2 with sparse, coarse punctures; mesoscutellum with fine, dense punctures; and metabasitarsus short, 1.7-1.8 times longer than broad. In E. simillima the pubescence of metasoma is black, T2 is more finely punctate, and metabasitarsus is longer (2.2 times longer than broad). In E. micheneri the pubescence on the dorsum of mesosoma is denser, partially obscuring the integument, the mesoscutellum is more coarsely and sparsely punctate, and the metabasitarsus is about twice as long as broad.</p><p>Redescription.</p><p>Lectotype, ♂: Head width 5.9 mm; intertegular distance 4.9 mm; body length 17.8 mm; forewing length 14.6 mm. Glossa in repose reaching mesotrochanter. Anterior margin of metatibia in inner view with elevated ridge bordering depressed, smooth and hairless area above tibial spurs, medial portion above inner spur projecting into a spine; metabasitarsus about twice as long as broad, inner surface near base weakly protuberant in frontal view, posterior margin gently convex, posterodistal margin angled. Dorsal lobe of gonostylus apically about as broad as its base, largely bare on its outer surface.</p><p>Mandible black on apical two-thirds, basally blue with weak green hues as on labrum; face green with weak golden hues; vertex and gena blue with weak green and purple hues; antenna black. Mesosoma (excluding legs) predominantly green except mesoscutellum blue, with weak golden hues on mesoscutum anteriorly, weak blue hues on axilla laterally, mesepisternum ventrally, and propodeum basal and laterally. Legs mostly blue-purple except green on pro- and mesotibiae anteriorly and metatibia basally. Wing membrane darkly infuscate, veins dark brown to black. T1-T4 green except distal margins blue to purple; T5-T7 blue with purple marginal zones; sterna mainly green except S3 dark brown, with blue to purple hues on apical sterna.</p><p>Head mainly with off-white setae, with gray to black setae on vertex. Mesosoma with black setae except whitish setae on outer surface of mesobasitarsus and off-white on anterior half of mesoscutum, lateral face of mesepisternum anteriorly, and small patch laterally on propodeum. Metasoma with off-white to light brown setae, longer and denser on apical terga and sterna.</p><p>Clypeus with longitudinal medial depression, bounded laterally by weak longitudinal ridge. T2 with punctures on disc separated by at least half a puncture width, impunctate distal margin at least as wide as two times a puncture width.</p><p>♀: Head width 5.7-6.0 mm; intertegular distance 4.9-5.0 mm; body length 14.6-16.9 mm; forewing length 13.1-13.8 mm. Metatibia with emargination on distal margin 0.7-0.8 times width of posterodistal angle; metabasitarsus 1.7-1.8 times longer than broad.</p><p>Blue-green with purple hues on mandible, labrum, clypeus, vertex, gena, mesoscutellum, legs, discs of sterna, and marginal zones of terga.</p><p>Pubescence black, except off-white on sides of T3, T4-T6 entirely, sides of S3, entire S4 and S5. Mesoscutellum with poorly defined row of dense pubescence on median longitudinal groove.</p><p>Clypeus sometimes with median longitudinal ridge continuing onto supraclypeal area; labrum with basal, longitudinally elongate tubercle, sublateral carinae sometimes weak.

USA (accidental?, see results and discussion): Texas, New Mexico.</p><p>Floral records.</p><p>Females have been collected on flowers of Cassia sp. ( Fabaceae), Solanum sp. ( Solanaceae), Senecio salignus (Kunth) H.E. Robins. &amp; Brett ( Asteraceae), and Thevetia sp. ( Apocynaceae). One of the two males captured in the US was visiting flowers of Cirsium sp. ( Asteraceae).</p><p>Comments.</p><p>The male lectotype is in poor condition (Figs 34-39). Both forewings are detached from the specimen and the left leg, right antenna and most of the left flagellum are missing. In addition, the left mesepisternum, right sides of S1, S2, S5, S2, T5-T7, and part of genital capsule appeared to have been eaten by dermestid beetles. Because the right mesotibia is very close to the body and the genitalia is partly destroyed, the following measurements and photographs were taken from the specimen collected in Nuevo León, Mexico: mesotibia with area between medial margin of posterior patch and anterior margin of tibia setose throughout except by small apical area; posterior patch about four times longer than broad, subapically broader than distance between its medial margin and anterior margin of tibia. Hidden sterna and genitalia as in Figs 40-45.</p><p>Female specimens vary considerably in the presence of green hues, from nearly absent to very distinct on face, mesoscutum and terga. The identity of the male from "Durango, Dgo., Mex., 6200ft. Aug. 14, 1947 / D. Rockefeller, Exp. Gertsch" is questionable, made more difficult because the two hind legs that are glued to the body are from different species; this male lacks the blue mesepisternum considered diagnostic for E. coerulescens .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E4A8D7CD19877C832522EF86590B1D67	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is most similar to E. engeli from southern Mexico. It can be separated from that species by the posterior felty patch of the mesotibia, which is subapically about as wide as the distance between its medial margin and the anterior margin of the tibia (broader in E. engeli), the finer and slightly sparser punctures on disc of T2, and its geographical distribution ( E. barthelli occurs in central Mexico). The female of E. barthelli is similar to that of E. oliveri in the long glossa, reaching at least to S1. However, they can be separated primarily by the punctation of the mesoscutellum. In E. barthelli it is finely, contiguously punctate throughout, with a distinct medial longitudinal groove that bears a row of dense setae. In E. oliveri, the mesoscutellum is coarsely, non-contiguously punctate, and with a weak medial longitudinal groove lacking a distinct row of dense pubescence.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Holotype, ♂: Head width 6.0 mm; intertegular distance 5.0 mm; body length 18.9 mm; forewing length 15.0 mm. Glossa in repose reaching S2. Anterior margin of metatibia in inner view with elevated ridge bordering depressed, smooth and hairless area above tibial spurs, upper margin of ridge medially projected, appearing as a spine in profile; metabasitarsus about twice as long as broad, inner surface near base weakly protuberant in frontal view, posterior margin gently convex, posterodistal margin broadly rounded. Hidden sterna and genitalia as in Figs 90-95; dorsal lobe of gonostylus broader apically than basally, distinctly setose on outer surface.</p><p>Mandible black on apical two-thirds, basally blue; labrum blue with weak green hues; remainder areas of head green with weak golden hues on face and bluish hues around ocelli and gena; antenna black. Mesosoma excluding legs predominantly green, with weak golden hues on mesoscutum anteriorly, disc of tegula and mesepisternum dorsally; weak bluish hues on axilla laterally, mesoscutellum, and propodeum basal and laterally. Legs mostly blue-purple except green on pro- and mesotibiae anteriorly and most of metatibia. Wing membrane infuscate, veins dark brown to black. T1-T4 green except distal margins blue to purple; T5-T7 blue-purple; sterna mainly green with weak blue-purple hues except S2 dark brown, with blue-purple hues barely visible basolaterally.</p><p>Head mainly with off-white setae, with gray to black setae on vertex. Mesosoma with gray to black setae except: whitish setae on posterior margin of meso- and metatibiae, outer surfaces of mesobasitarsus and metatibia; off-white on anterior half of mesoscutum, and lateral face of mesepisternum. Mesotibia with area between medial margin of posterior patch and anterior margin of tibia setose except on apical one-fourth; posterior patch 4.5 times longer than broad, subapically about as wide as distance between its medial margin and anterior margin of tibia. Metasoma with off-white to light brown setae, longer and denser on apical terga and sterna.</p><p>Clypeus without longitudinal medial depression.

It along with E. micheneri and E. barthelli belong to a group of species that differs from other concolorous metallic blue to dark green Mexican Eufriesea by the anterior margin of metatibia in inner view without a distinct spine-like subapical projection above inner spur, but upper margin of distinctly depressed area projected medially, thus often appearing spine-like in profile (Figs 14-19) and the genitalia with dorsal lobe of gonostylus apically broad, distinctly setose on outer surface (Fig. 26). It can be separated from E. micheneri by the metabasitarsus broadly rounded posterodistally (angled in E. micheneri), T2 with punctures separated by at most a puncture width on disc (punctures separated by 1-2 times a puncture width in E. micheneri), and by the body color (largely metallic green in the male of E. engeli vs. dark blue with violet hues in both sexes of E. micheneri). From E. barthelli it can be separated by the posterior felty patch of mesotibia, which is subapically broader than the distance between its medial margin and anterior margin of tibia (narrower in E. barthelli), punctation of T2 (punctures coarser and nearly contiguous in E. engeli, finer and slightly sparser in E. barthelli), and its geographical distribution ( E. engeli occurs in southern Mexico whereas E. barthelli in central Mexico).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Holotype, ♂: As described for E. barthelli except as follows: Head width 5.9 mm; body length 16.7 mm; intertegular distance 4.6 mm; forewing length 14.4 mm.
