Chrysis albibasalis Mocsáry, 1913. Holotype Ƌ [not examined]: BRAZIL: São Paulo (HNHM). Synonymized by Kimsey & Bohart (1991: 509).
Ipsiura goeldi: Bohart 1985: 711.
Neochrysis (Ipsiura) goeldi: Linsenmaier 1985: 466.
Diagnosis. Ipsiura goeldii most closely resembles I. longiventris (Ducke). It can be distinguished from that and other Ipsiura species by the bluish green body color and coarse punctation. In addition, the following combination of characters is diagnostic of I. goeldii: fore femur punctate on outer surface; T3 without distinct prepit swelling, six acute distal teeth; medium-sized S2 spots, and the subrectangular TFC enclosure.
Male description. Body (Fig. 73). Length: 6.7 mm. Coloration: head predominantly green blue, with distinct purple highlights on vertex; F1 green; mesosoma metallic green, with distinct blue highlights on dorsum, especially of pronotum and mesoscutum; metasoma metallic green blue, with transverse purple stripes on dorsum of T1 and T2, bluish highlights broadly disseminated on dorsum; T3 with bluish highlights on dorsum, with lateral whitish spot; wing membrane light brown, with brown veins; femora and tibiae greenish; tarsi brownish, basitarsi green. Head: TFC enclosing the median ocellus, closed medially and forming a subrectangular enclosure (Fig. 74); F1 longer than broad, 1.1× as long as F2; scapal basin with dense silvery pubescence; fore femur without flattened area or ventral tooth-like projection on outer surface of distal margin, 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 coarsely punctate anteriorly, with distinct posterior area delimited by transverse ridge; metanotum rounded, without differentiated surface; mesopleural lower posterior margin carinate, with indistinct tooth-like projections. Metasoma: T3 with six acute distal teeth (Fig. 75), pit row completely exposed, with large, deep foveae, without prepit swelling; S2 spots medium-size to large, nearly reaching each other medially (Fig. 76). Punctation: coarse punctation on whole body; fore femur punctate externally; largest punctures on T1, mesopleuron and metanotum.
Female. Same as male except for the characteristic shape of S2 spots touching medially as shown in Fig. 76.
Variation. Body length 6.7– 7 mm.
Hosts. Unknown.
Distribution. Argentina (Formosa, Santa Fe); Brazil (ES, MG, PA, PR, SC, SP); Paraguay (San Pedro) (Fig. 77).
