Augochloropsis female T2 hair fringes A Augochloropsis metallica with thickened hairs B Augochloropsis viridula with unthickened, slender hairs C Augochloropsis sp. (likely undescribed species from Eastland, Texas) with intermediate hairs. Note the specimens in A and B have their metasomas stretched out, revealing the brown basal part of the tergum that is normally hidden under the preceding tergum; this was done to increase contrast of the hairs and make the differences clearer. Scale bars: 1 mm, all images at the same scale.
