Amegilla aeruginosa or Amegilla (Notomegilla) aeruginosa is a species of digger bee. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1854 by English entomologist Frederick Smith.[1][2][3]
The body length is 10 mm, forewing length 8–9 mm. The species is distinguished from Australian congeners by the green- or bronze-coloured fur covering most of the upper surface.[2]
