Key to the Brazilian species of Pseudaugochlora View in CoL
1 Metasomal terga generally with black apical margins (rarely dark brown); epistomal sulcus of female forming an approximately orthogonal angle; integument of female mesoscutum, among punctures, microreticulate ( Fig.5 View FIGURE 5 a); basitibial plate of female microreticulate; F11 of male hooked ( Figs.3 View FIGURE 3 a–c); S4 of male with a Yshaped hair patch ( Figs.2 View FIGURE 2 a,b), S5 of male with two lateral hair patches ( Figs.2 View FIGURE 2 a,b).............2
Metasomal terga generally with black apical margins dark brown, brown or light brown; epistomal sulcus forming small and acute paraocular lobe protruding onto clypeus (less evident in male); integument of mesoscutum of female (among punctures) smooth ( Fig.5 View FIGURE 5 b); basitibial plate of female smooth; F11 of male with a ventral projection not as strongly developed as a hook ( Fig.1 View FIGURE 1 e), or unmodified ( Fig.1 View FIGURE 1 d); S4 with hair patches, but neveof male not Yshaped, on S5 Vshaped ( Figs.2 View FIGURE 2 c,d)....................................................6
2 Disc of clypeus of female medially depressed for its distal third, forming a longitudinal furrow or a broad depressed area ( Fig.8 View FIGURE 8 ); sides and base of clypeus of female extensively microreticulate forming a rough Ushaped band adjacent to the epistomal sulcus; F11 of male weakly hooked, resembling a ventrally pointed projection ( Fig.1 View FIGURE 1 b)..........................................................................................................................3
Disc of clypeus of female flat or weakly concave for its distal third; lateral portions of clypeus of female microreticulate (especially upper corner of the clypeus) — basal portion of clypeus often not microreticulate medially; F11 of male strongly hooked ( Figs.1 View FIGURE 1 a,c)..............................................................................4
3 Disc of clypeus of female broadly depressed for its distal third ( Fig.8 View FIGURE 8 a); metasoma of female bluish green, T1 very finely and weakly puntate, intermixed with coarser punctures ( Figs.7 View FIGURE 7 d,e); mesoscutum of female with extensive sparsely punctate areas, generally surrounding posterior third of mesoscutal line; mandible of male generally brown to light brown; hair apices on stem of the Yshaped hair patch on S4 of male ordered, aiming at midline of this patch ( Fig.2 View FIGURE 2 b) ........................................................... P. callaina View in CoL Almeida
Apical third of clypeus of female depressed as a short longitudinal groove ( Fig.8 View FIGURE 8 b); color of female metasoma variable, rarely bluish green, punctation on disc of T1 of female dense and moderately coarse ( Figs.7 View FIGURE 7 a–c); mesoscutum of female with sparsely punctate areas generally restricted to the mesoscutal bands and reaching posterior end of mesoscutal line (but not surrounding it); mandible of male yellow to light brown; hair apices on stem of the Yshaped hair patch on S4 of male unordered and entangled (as in Fig.2 View FIGURE 2 a) ......................................................................................................................... P. indistincta View in CoL Almeida
4 Punctures of disc of T1 of female moderately dense to dense, generally uniform in diameter ( Fig.7 View FIGURE 7 a), sometimes with a few slightly coarser punctures intermixed among the others ( Figs.7 View FIGURE 7 b,c); hook of F11 of male antenna as in Fig.1 View FIGURE 1 a; F5 of male less than 1.5x longer than wide .................. P. graminea (Fabricius)
Punctures of disc of T1 of female generally fine intermixed with noticeably coarser punctures ( Figs.7 View FIGURE 7 d–f), punctation sparse or moderately dense; F11 of male strongly hooked ( Fig.1 View FIGURE 1 c); F5 of male 1.5x longer than wide or longer...............................................................................................................................................5
5 Metasoma with distinctive reddish and golden highlights; sides and base of clypeus of female extensively microreticulate, forming a rough Ushaped band adjacent to the epistomal sulcus ....................................... ............................................................................................................................... P. erythrogaster View in CoL Almeida
Color of metasoma variable, but never with reddish and golden highlights; microreticulation of clypeus of female restricted its upper corner, median area adjacent to epistomal sulcus smooth. P. s i m u l a t a Almeida
6 Angle of the frontal line between supraclypeal and frontal areas gently declivous (approximately 140 — Fig.6 View FIGURE 6 a); apical margins of T1–T4 light brown to greenish; basal area of labrum of female smooth; T2–T5
of female often with weak bluish and yellowish highlights; F11 of male with a ventral projection, but not hooked ( Fig.1 View FIGURE 1 e); hair tufts of S4 and S5 of male as in Fig.2 View FIGURE 2 d ........................................ P. pandora (Smith) View in CoL Angle of the frontal line between supraclypeal and frontal areas abrupty declivous (approximately 100 — Fig.6 View FIGURE 6 b); apical margins of T1–T4 brown to dark brown (generally lighter on males); basal area of labrum of female microrugulose, except region near basal elevation; T2–T5 of female often with reddish, golden, and/or bronze highlights; F11 of male not modified ( Fig.1 View FIGURE 1 d); hair tufts of S4 and S5 of male as in Fig.2 View FIGURE 2 c ............................................................................................................................ P. flammula View in CoL Almeida
