[1] The species is known from a single female specimen, the holotype, currently in the private collection owned by Ettore Morone[2] of Turin, Italy, as number "M-2521", and which was first studied by Dr. Michael S. Engel.

[1] The subgenus name is a combination of the Latin electrum meaning "amber" and Augochlora, the type genus of the tribe Augochlorini.

[1] The type specimen is well preserved in early Miocene[3] (Burdigalian stage)[4] Dominican amber from deposits on the island of Hispaniola.

[1] The presence of an epistomal sulcus, the groove defining the lateral and dorsal margin of the clypeus, places A. leptoloba within the large genus Augochlora.

However, due to the lack of a preoccipital carina, the ridge behind the simple eyes on the top of the head found in the living member of the genus, A. leptoloba was placed in a new subgenus, Electraugochlora.
