Preliminary Key to Species of Stilbochlora

(females only)

1. Basal area of propodeum with numerous, closely spaced, basal striae ( Figs. 16–18 View Figures 15–18 ), striae reaching to midlength of basal area or beyond ....................... 2

—. Basal area of propodeum with short, sparse, basal striae ( Fig. 15 View Figures 15–18 ), striae scarcely reaching midlength of basal area and widely separated ( Figs. 11 View Figures 11–14 , 15 View Figures 15–18 ), sometimes striae somewhat effaced .................... S. eickworti (Engel et al.)

2. Basal area of propodeum with striae extending well beyond midlength, medially reaching or nearly to rounded posterior border with posterior surface ( Figs. 12, 13 View Figures 11–14 ), giving striate area a roughly triangular shape ( Figs. 16, 17 View Figures 15–18 ) ...... 3

—. Basal area of propodeum with striae reaching to about midlength of basal area ( Figs. 14 View Figures 11–14 , 18 View Figures 15–18 ), separated from rounded posterior border with posterior surface by about ocellar diameter, not projecting medially, thus striate area of a crescent shape ( Fig. 18 View Figures 15–18 ) ................................................... S. wedmanorum , n. sp.

3. Integument brilliant metallic green with predominantly golden coppery highlights ( Figs. 1, 2 View Figures 1–2 , 9 View Figures 7–10 , 12 View Figures 11–14 , 16 View Figures 15–18 ); scape largely testaceous; clypeal apex testaceous ( Fig. 9 View Figures 7–10 ); legs largely light testaceous .............................. S. graceae , n. sp.

—. Integument brilliant metallic blue green with green to purple highlights ( Figs. 3, 4 View Figures 3–4 , 8 View Figures 7–10 , 13 View Figures 11–14 , 17 View Figures 15–18 ); scape dark brown; clypeal apex dark brown ( Fig. 8 View Figures 7–10 ); legs largely dark brown ..........................................................................
