Augochlora (Augochlora) bractealis
Description
Augochlora (Augochlora) bractealis (Vachal, 1904)
Halictus bractealis Vachal, 1904. Holotype male (MNHP) from Peru, ′ Villanota ̍ [probably lapsus for Vilcanota, in Cuzco, Peru]. Examined through photographs.
Halictus pyrrhias Vachal, 1911. Lectotype female (MNHP) from Peru, Marcapata; designated by Moure and Hurd (1987). Synonymy by Lepeco and Gonçalves (2022). Examined through photographs.
Halictus pinacis Vachal, 1911. Holotype male (MNHP) from Peru, ′ Callanga ̍. Examined through photographs. New synonym.
Comments
The male holotype of Halictus pinacis has a ferruginous hind basitarsus, not yellow as in Oxystoglossella, and the head shape and body punctation agree with those of A. bractealis, recently transferred to Augochlora s. str. by Lepeco and Goncalves (2022). Vachal (1911, p. 50) separated H. pinaci s from H. bractealis based on T1 colouration, not entirely metallic on H. pinacis; however, examining the holotypes images we suppose that this difference is due to particular specimen preservation, as seen in a series of other species, such as A. obidensis sp. nov.
