Head of small specimens sometimes brownish with variably extensive metallic lusters, but normally (Fig. 7) bright green to blue or purple except usually with dark, nonmetallic or slight coppery band extending from each scrobe dorsally to side of anterior ocellus and sometimes to posterior ocellus and/or sometimes narrowly contiguous around posterior margin of anterior ocellus. Maxillary and labial palpi dark. Antenna dark brown with scape and pedicel usually with similar metallic luster as head, and scape often with extreme base or rarely up to about basal two-thirds yellowish. Mesosoma (Figs 22, 41) similar in color to head, including entire scutellum, the frenal area not differentiated from rest of scutellum by color. Legs usually (Fig. 41) with femora and tibiae extensively dark except knees, tibiae variably extensively apically, and all but one or two apical tarsomeres yellowish-orange to white, but middle and hind legs sometimes more extensively, rarely entirely, yellowish-orange except knees, tibiae apically and tarsi more distinctly white. Fore wing (Fig. 59) hyaline; setae uniformly colored, sometimes white but usually at least slightly yellowish to brown. Metasoma (Figs 22, 41) often similar in color to head and mesosoma but more commonly more or less brown, at least dorsally, with variable metallic lusters.</paragraph>
