description: Ipsiura neolateralis (Bohart, 1966)
(Figs 135–140)
Neochrysis (Ipsiura) neolateralis Bohart, 1966: 143. Holotype Ƌ [examined]: USA, Illinois, Franklin County, West Frankfort (BME).
Ipsiura neolateralis: Bohart 1985: 710.
Diagnosis. Ipsiura neolateralis most closely resembles I. catamarcae Bohart and I. venezuelae Bohart. It can be distinguished from these and other Ipsiura species by the following combination of characters: fore femur flattened distally, produced ventrally into a tooth-like projection (fore femur flattened distally but not projecting ventrally in I. venezuelae); TFC forming a rectangular enclosure, distinctly angulate laterally, closed medially (round, longer than broad, and usually interrupted medially in I. catamarcae and I. venezuelae); fore wing with short M distal to discoidal cell (long M in I. venezuelae) and metanotum cristate (punctate to irregularly serriform in I. catamarcae and I. venezuelae).
Male description. Body (Fig. 135). Length: 8.9 mm. Coloration: head predominantly green; F1 light brown green; mesosoma metallic bluish green, with faint bluish highlights on dorsum, particularly on pronotum and mesoscutum; metasoma metallic bluish green, with bluish purple transverse stripes on dorsum of T1 and T2; T3 with broad lateral whitish spot; wing membrane light brown, with brown veins; femora and tibiae greenish; tarsi brown, meso- and hind basitarsus greenish brown. Head: TFC forming rectangular enclosure, angulate laterally, closed medially (Fig. 136); F1 longer than broad, 1.3× as long as F2; scapal basin densely covered with silvery pubescence. Mesosoma: fore femur with distinct flattened area on distal margin, producing ventrally into a toothlike projection, diameter of distal area subequal to diameter of proximal area; fore wing with short M distal to discoidal cell, R1 shorter than stigma (as in Fig. 190); dorsal surface of pronotum wider than head; lower lateral pronotal surface irregularly punctate anteriorly, with distinct posterior area delimited by transverse ridge; metanotum serrated to cristate medially; mesopleural lower posterior margin carinate, with distinct tooth-like projections. Metasoma: T3 with six acute distal teeth (Fig. 137), with well-developed pit row, marked by large and deep foveae, with strongly convex prepit swelling; S2 spots large, touching medially (Fig. 138). Punctation: fore femur impunctate on outer surface; largest punctures on T1, mesopleuron and metanotum; definite punctures on dorsum of head, meso- and metasoma, shallow punctures mostly on T2 and T3. Genital capsule (Fig. 139): cuspis slightly shorter than gonostylus; digitus narrow, clavate apically, longer than cuspis; cuspis broad basally; gonostylus and cuspis setose apically; aedeagus lobes elaborate.
Female. Same as male, except for the characteristic shape of S2 spots as shown in Fig. 138.
Variation. Body length 8.6–8.9 mm.
Host. Unknown.
Distribution. Costa Rica (Guanacaste); El Salvador (La Libertad); Mexico (Chiapas, Jalisco, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas); USA (Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia) (Fig. 140).
