Holotype female (DZUP) from Brazil , Mato Grosso , Serra do Roncador. Examined. Diagnosis Augochlora mendax females have a tuberculate S1 and males have S4 with a tuft of thick setae on medioapical margin ( A. mendax species group). Females are green (not dark green) with metapostnotum not entirely carinate-rugulose, being similar to A. modica , but can be separated by the metapostnotum mostly rugose with lateral ornamentation forming semicircular carinae and posterior surface microreticulate medially. Male hind basitarsus is slightly narrowed apically and S5 strongly depressed transversally on median surface, and from other species it can be separated by the metapostnotum entirely carinate-rugose combined with green integument. Distribution Brazil ( Goiás , Mato Grosso , Mato Grosso do Sul , Minas Gerais , Paraná , Rio de Janeiro , São Paulo ). Examined material Supplemental material.
