Chortophaga viridifasciata
It appears that your nymphs have grown up. This one looks like a female, while your others from the same day look like males. I like the subtle hint of green on this one. You'll probably run into some very green ones, and judging from the nymph photos you posted, maybe even some purple ones.

I thought sure I had something other than the Green-stripe with some of these.
