In general, Euglossa (Euglossa) aeneolusa sp. nov. is similar to Eg. avicula Dressler, 1982 by the anterior midtibial tuft bilobed with the proximal lobe very large and the distal lobe much smaller. But Eg. avicula has anterior midtibial tufts that remind a duck silhouette, according to Dressler (1982b). In Eg. aeneolusa TII-VII are copper while in Eg. avicula they are metallic green. Similar also to Eg. heterosticta Moure, 1968 but this one has the anterior midtibial tuft more pronounced and integument metallic green in terga and hindtibiae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241887F13D07FFE0D6904912FC37FA86	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Methyl salicilate, cineole, vanilin.</p><p>Comments. Belonging to the Euglossa (Euglossa) analis species-group for sharing with it the following features as defined by Dressler (1978): “posterior midtibial tuft reduced or lacking, the anterior shallowly notched or attenuate, hindtibia usually rhomboid, teeth 2 or 3, paraocular white markings present, dark-blue violet bees with the terminal terga usually green or bronze”. This species is very similar at first sight to E. mixta Friese, 1899, whose holotype I had in my hands to study. In Dressler’s (1982a) key, the only one available for the species of Eg. analis species-group, the obligatory steps to arrive at E. mixta are the “posterior mid-tibial tuft quite lacking” (step one, second option and see also his Fig. 1f) and its continuity, in the fifth dilemma, second option, the terga V-VII red-bronze. In E. irisa sp. nov., however, there is a tiny posterior tuft in the velvety area (Fig. 4d) but, if the velvety area is dirty or covered by aromatic fragrances, visualization of this tuft is usually more difficult, and TV-VII are metallic red, gold, and green, respectively (Fig. 4e). Apparently, Eg. irisa has an exclusively Amazonian distribution, while its relative, Eg. mixta, occurs from Mexico to southeastern Brazil, except in the Amazon basin. However, I have found some few specimens only in Acre state, it could be another case of species from Central Brazil and the Atlantic Forest that reach that state, as is the case of Eg. securigera Dressler, 1982, Eg. crassipuncta Moure, 1968 and Eg. ignita, just to give a few examples (for more details about geographic distribution see Nemésio 2009, Moure and Melo 2023, and Oliveira et al. 2025).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241887F13D09FFEED6B64FB2FBFEFA46	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2012) for the species of this subgenus: shape of metatibia triangular (posterior angle acute), shape of scape cylindrical, length of labiomaxillary complex clearly surpassing tip of metasoma (by about half a metasomal segment length), malar length equal the entire width of mid-flagelomere, separation of tip of metatibial organ slit from ventral margin of metatibia slightly over maximum width of organ slit, midmandibular tooth minute, adjacent to outer tooth, and known distribution only Amazon Basin.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241887F13D12FFF7D6C64A12FDFAF95D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
