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.
