Diagnosis.
Ipsiura longiventris
most closely resembles
I. prolixa
Bohart
and
I. klugi
(Dahlbom)
. It can be distinguished from these and other
Ipsiura
species by the following combination of characters: T2 with narrow basolateral translucent rim (absent in
I. prolixa
and
I. klugi
); large S2 spots (medium-sized to small in
I. prolixa
and
I. klugi
); T3 with six acute distal teeth and low, indistinct, sloping gently prepit swelling (prepit swelling absent in
I. klugi
and
I. prolixa
); and the TFC almost completely closed medially (widely interrupted in
I. klugi
and
I. prolixa
).
Lectotype
redescription.
Body
(
Fig. 119
).
Length:
7.2 mm
.
Coloration:
head predominantly green, with faint bluish highlights on vertex; F1 brown; mesosoma metallic green, with faint bluish highlights on dorsum of pronotum and mesoscutum; metasoma metallic green, with faint transverse bluish purple stripes on dorsum of T1 and T2; T3 with faint bluish highlights dorsally, with lateral whitish spot; wing membrane light brown, with brown veins; femora and tibiae greenish; tarsi brownish, hind basitarsus brownish green.
Head:
TFC forming long arc, slightly interrupted medially (
Fig. 120
); scapal basin densely covered with silvery pubescence; F1 longer than broad, 1.2× as long as F2.
Mesosoma:
fore femur without ventral tooth-like projection, slightly flattened 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 irregularly punctate anteriorly, with indistinct posterior area delimited by faint 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. 121
), pit row well-developed, with large and deep foveae, prepit swelling low, sloping gently; T2 with narrow basolateral translucent border; S2 spots medium-sized, round, nearly reaching each other medially (
Fig. 122
).
Punctation:
fore femur impunctate on outer surface; largest punctures on T1, mesopleuron and metanotum.
