      I did check the link Sunil, but did you notice the range of distribution of these species?

      - The genus Agapostemon is a common group of Western hemisphere sweat bees of generally green or blue appearance (head and thorax always, sometimes also the abdomen in some females). There are some 45 species in the genus, ranging from Canada to Argentina.
      - There are about 200 described species, distributed in five genera: Euglossa, Eulaema, Eufriesea, Exaerete and the monotypic Aglae. All exclusively occur in South or Central America (though one species, Euglossa viridissima, has become established in the United States).

      All of these species are only found in the Americas. Whenever you identify any species, it is very important to check the distribution range, because very often there are more or less similar species, which occur in different parts of the wourld and belong to different genera respectively.

        You are right Wildflower, I didnt had enough time to dive deep into the info. so just posted the link to check the similarities and try to identify the species, since this is found near somecoastal region of india, Shubham is the right person to identify it by looking into habitat and the features of the species. Its difficult to judge just through this photograph. Posted 11 years ago
