Subspecies
No subspecies.
Recently, this species and its three congeners were placed in a genus Hedydipna, but this name invalid, current genus name having precedence. Males in Ndundulu Mts, in central Tanzania, are brighter metallic blue, less green, than those elsewhere in species' range, and possibly represent an undescribed geographical subspecies. Further study is required.
Similar Species
