Ipsiura lata Bohart 1985

Ipsiura lata Bohart, 1985 (Figs 89���95) Chrysis lateralis Brull��, 1846: 26 (nom. praeocc., nec Dahlbom, 1845). Lectotype ♀ [not examined]: BRAZIL: Paran��, Guaratuba (MNHN). Designed by Bohart, in Kimsey & Bohart (1991: 510). Ipsiura lata Bohart, 1985: 716. Holotype �� [examined]: BRAZIL: Amazonas, Manaus (MZUSP). Pleurocera (Ipsiura) lateralis: Linsenmaier 1959: 74. Neochrysis (Ipsiura) lateralis: Bohart 1966: 142. Diagnosis. Ipsiura lata most closely resembles I. obidensis (Ducke) and I. fritzi Bohart. It can be distinguished from those and other species of Ipsiura by the following combination of characters: T3 with six acute distal teeth (the lateral teeth are obtuse in I. obidensis); metanotum distinctly cristate medially (Fig. 92) (irregularly serriform in I. obidensis and slightly cristate in I. fritzi); TFC longer than broad (broader than long in I. obidensis, nearly rounded in I. fritzi); fore femur coarsely punctate on outer surface (almost completely impunctate in I. fritzi) and the lower posterior mesopleural margin with three well-separated tooth-like projections (projections closer together in I. obidensis and I. fritzi). Holotype redescription. Body (Fig. 89). Length: 8.5 mm. Coloration: head predominantly green, with faint bluish purple highlights on vertex; F1 brownish green; mesosoma metallic green, with faint bluish purple highlights on dorsum, particularly on pronotum; metasoma metallic green, with transverse purple stripes on dorsum of T1 and T2; T3 with bluish highlights dorsally, with lateral whitish spot; wing membrane light brown, with brown veins; femora and tibiae greenish; tarsi brownish, hind basitarsus green. Head: TFC enclosing the median ocellus, completely closed medially (Fig. 90); F1 longer than broad, 1.3�� as long as F2; scapal basin covered with silvery pubescence. Mesosoma: fore femur with flattened area on outer surface of distal margin but not producing into a tooth projection ventrally, 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 punctate anteriorly, without distinct posterior area delimited by transverse ridge; metanotum serriform to cristate medially (Fig. 92); mesopleural lower posterior margin carinate, with three well-separated tooth-like projections. Metasoma: T3 with six acute distal teeth (Fig. 91), pit row completely exposed, with well definite, shallow foveae, prepit swelling sloping gently; S2 spots large, touching medially (Fig. 93). Punctation: outer surface of fore femur coarsely punctate; largest punctures on T1, mesopleuron and metanotum. Genital capsule (Fig. 94): cuspis as long as gonostylus, sharp apically; digitus shorter than cuspis, broader apically than basally, clavate; gonostylus broader than cuspis basally; gonostylus and cuspis setose apically; aedeagus lobes robust, blunt apically. Female. Same as male except for the characteristic shape of S2 spots as shown in Fig. 93. Variation. One female (Brazil: Maranh��o, Peritor�� 9.vi.1978 coll. M.F Torres���BME) has the odd condition of T3 with five irregular distal teeth, as noticed in holotype of I. spiculella (see discussion below). Despite its wide distribution, I. lata exhibits little morphological variation. Some specimens have lateral teeth on T3 more obtuse than typical. Additionally, the body coloration varies from usual greenish pattern to primarily bluish in specimens collected in northeast Brazil (Para��ba: Sta. Terezinha, Soledade; Rio Grande do Norte: Mossor��; Bahia: Milagres, Jequi��). Body length 6.8���8.5 mm. Hosts. Unknown. Distribution. Argentina (Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Chaco, Cordoba, Entre Rios, Mendoza, Salta, Santa Fe, Tucum��n); Brazil (AL, AM, AP, BA, MG, MS, MT, PA, PB, PE, PR, RN, SE, SP); Paraguay (San Pedro) (Fig. 95).
