Habralictus beatissimus

2. Habralictus beatissimus (Cockerell, 1901) Figs 1A, 2A, 4–5, 20A, 21A Augochlora beatissima Cockerell, 1901: 222. Diagnosis Females without yellow maculations on the metasoma and with paraocular fovea not contiguous to the eye margin near emargination. Easily differs from similar species by the dark mesoscutum, bright green in H. canaliculatus and blue green in H. cyaneus sp. nov. From the latter it is also distinguished by the absence of blue metallic reflections on the metasoma. From H. obscuratus sp. nov., it is distinguished by the yellow maculations on the terga and the areolate sculpturing of the head and mesoscutum of the latter. Males without yellow maculations on the metasoma and with elongate flagellomeres. The anterior margin of the mesoscutum is rounded, not acuminate-shaped as H. canaliculatus. The scutellum is crowded lineolate, whereas in H. cyaneus sp. nov. it is polished between the punctures.

Redescription Female HEAD. Head bright green; covered with very sparse short white plumose setae. Labrum amber to light brown. Mandible usually yellow with darkened apex. Clypeus not depressed in the middle; green, with an apical band brown; covered with sparse short white plumose setae and with a band of long apical decumbent setae; sparsely punctate intertwined with very fine punctures; polished between the punctures. Supraclypeal area with copper reflections; punctulate and polished between the punctures. Paraocular fovea extends from the base of the eye, not more than an ocellar distance beyond the antennal socket, not contiguous to the eye margin near emargination. Paraocular area sculpturing similar to that of the supraclypeal area. Frons densely puncticulate, more crowded towards the frontal line giving a rough appearance and polished between the punctures. Scape dark brown. Flagellum mostly dark brown, ventrally light brown to yellow. MESOSOMA. Pronotal dorsolateral angle obtuse or rounded. Pronotal lobe yellow. Tegula amber with a yellow band on the inner margin. Wing membrane hyaline. Mesoscutum anterior margin acuminate-shaped; surface mostly purple, sometimes with copper reflections; covered with very short tomentum and few sparse darker erect setae, more visible from an oblique view; sparsely puncticulate and lineolate to coriaceous between the punctures (with a lineolate appearance, but sometimes the lines connect forming a leather-like sculpture). Mesepisternum bright green. Pre-episternum crowded areolate. Hypoepimeral area coriaceous. Mesepisternum puncticulate and coriaceous laterally, becoming polished ventrally. Metapostnotum not depressed in the median posterior surface; bright green; entirely lineolate. LEGS. Fore coxa brown, trochanter amber, femur brown with a yellow tip or ventrally, tibia and basitarsus yellow. Mid coxa and trochanter brown, femur, tibia and basitarsus amber. Hind leg brown. Hind femur with dense long plumose setae. METASOMA. Terga dark brown without yellow maculations; covered with short decumbent setae very sparsely distributed in T1, which progressively become denser towards T5; T1–T5 lineolate. Sterna covered with long plumose setae, denser and longer in S3> S2> S4>S5>S1. MEASUREMENTS. Approximate body length 5.04 mm. Head mean width 1.39 mm, mean length 1.26 mm; Clypeoantennal mean distance 0.3 mm. Mean distance between subantennal sutures 0.37 mm. Lower interocular mean distance 0.71 mm. Upper interocular mean distance 0.79 mm. Scape mean length 0.59 mm. Intertegular mean distance 0.99 mm. T1 mean width 1.16 mm. T2 mean width 1.52 mm. T3 mean width 1.56 mm. Male HEAD. Head bright green, with copper reflections; covered with sparse decumbent setae below the antennal socket and with dense short white decumbent setae above. Labrum yellow. Mandible usually yellow wit
