LEGS. Fore leg yellow. Mid leg mostly yellow. Hind leg mostly yellow.

METASOMA. Terga clavate form (about the same width, apex more dilated); dark brown with yellow maculations, as follows: T2–T4 with yellow basal bands, sometimes hidden by the terga looking like separate maculations; with short decumbent setae very sparsely distributed in T1, which progressively become denser towards T6; lineolate. S5 without any projection.

GENITALIA. Gonobase at least three times shorter than the gonocoxite, with basal projection. Gonocoxite elongate, basal portion of the dorsal inner margin forming a sinuose flange. Gonapophysis slender, apex weakly rounded, longer than the gonostylus, curved ventrally. Gonostylus basal lobe very small, with short setae; ventral process slender, with small setae elsewhere and long setae apically, dorsal process expanded. Volsella short and rounded.

MEASUREMENTS. Approximate body length 5.2 mm. Head mean width 1.24 mm; mean length 1.13 mm. Clypeoantennal mean distance 0.26 mm. Mean distance between subantennal sutures 0.27 mm.

Variation

Some female specimens with stipe yellow only basally; metasoma varying from black to ferruginous, always with yellow maculations.A female from Vila Velha, Ponta Grossa, Paraná has the metapostnotum ferruginous and not green. Some male specimens have the posterior portion of the metapostnotum very weakly coriaceous. Some specimens have their hind leg entirely brown.

Distribution

Brazil: Acre, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerias, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo.

Taxonomic remarks

The only morphological difference that could justify the names H. callichroma and H. flavopictus for separate species would be the coloration of the metasoma. Augochlora callichroma was originally described as having a ferruginous metasoma with small dark brown spots on T1 and T2, extending to the rest of the terga. This may have led Moure to describe H. flavopictus as a separate species based on the brown metasoma. However, we found evidence for one species with specimens showing variation in metasomal coloration, ranging from entirely brown to entirely ferruginous. This led us to synonymize both names with Augochlora callichroma as subjective senior synonyms.

Cockerell (1901) described A. callichroma from five specimens, all from Chapada, in Brazil, collected in December and January. Although the CM specimen is labeled as a holotype, Moure et al. (2007) correctly considered it as a syntype. This specimen (“CMNH-IZ/724,554”) is here designated lectotype to stabilize the nomenclature.
