Neochrysis transstriata: present paper, stat. resurr..

Material examined. Holotype ♀: Surinam Paramaribo leg. P.B. Schneble / I.56 Coll. Lins. / 385 / Neochrysis transstriata Lins. det. Linsenmaier 1985 / NML_ENT GBIF_Chr0013403 (NMLU).

Neochrysis transstriata was synonymized with N. tysis by Kimsey & Bohart (1991); however, it is distinct from N. tysis by having: F2 longer than F3; mesopleuron strongly angulated with ventral margin of mesopleuron strongly projecting as a sharp carina, which appears lobed (Fig. 19B); third metasomal tergum fully metallic (Fig. 19C); black spots on second sternum very small, comma-like, broadly separated medially (Fig. 19D), whereas N. tysis has: F2 equal to F3; mesopleuron relatively rounded ventrally, carina without teeth or lobes; third metasomal tergum with large whitish basolateral spot; black spots on second sternum large and ovoid, barely separated medially. We therefore consider Neochrysis transstriata Linsenmaier, 1985 stat. resurr. a valid species.
