This image shows us much of the last part of the key to species: metasternum setose; abdomen usually bright green, occasionally shining coppery; humeral callus with 6-8 small setulae along posterior margin; notopleuron usually with 5 or more setulae on posterior border
The setulae are very small hairs and not visible in most images. You can just barely see some of them in the full screen view.
