Holotype ♀ [not examined]: BRAZIL: São Paulo (NMLS). Synonymized by  Kimsey & Bohart (1991: 509).    Neochrysis( Ipsiura) catamarcae:  Linsenmaier 1997: 266.   Diagnosis.This species most closely resembles  I. affinissima(Ducke),  I. fritziBohartand  I. lataBohart.  Ipsiura catamarcaeis readily distinguished from these and other  Ipsiuraspecies by the post-ocular and metapleural surfaces with polished areas, and T3 with strongly convex prepit swelling. Additionally,  I. catamarcaehas a welldeveloped pit row with deep foveae (absent in  I. affinissima, shallow foveae in  I. lataand  I. fritzi), fore femur with ventral tooth on distal margin (absent in  I. lata) and the metanotum rounded (cristate to serriform in  I. lataand  I. fritzi).   Female description. Body( Fig. 31). Length: 9 mm. Coloration:head predominantly bluish green; F1 bluish brown; mesosoma metallic blue, with faint transverse bluish stripe on dorsum of pronotum; metasoma metallic blue, with transverse purple stripes on dorsum of T1 and T2; T3 with lateral whitish spot; wing membrane light brown, with brown veins; femora and tibiae blue; tarsi brownish, hind basitarsus green blue. Head:TFC enclosing the median ocellus, subsquare, interrupted medially; F1 longer than broad, 1.3× as long as F2; scapal basin covered with dense silvery pubescence. Mesosoma:fore femur with distinct ventral tooth-like projection on distal margin, diameter of distal area about one-half diameter of proximal area; hind tibia with some long setae among short ones; fore wing with short Mdistal to discoidal cell, R1shorter than stigma (as in Fig. 190); dorsal surface of pronotum wider than head ( Fig. 32); lower lateral pronotal surface smooth, without distinct posterior area delimited by transverse ridge; metanotum irregularly punctate, not cristate nor projecting above propodeal surface; mesopleural lower posterior margin strongly carinate, with distinct close together tooth-like projections. Metasoma:T3 with six acute distal teeth ( Fig. 33), strongly convex prepit swelling; pit row with deep and large foveae; S2 spots large, touching medially ( Fig. 34). Punctation:fore femur impunctate on outer surface, tiny punctures marked distally; largest punctures on T1, mesopleuron and metanotum; shallow punctures on T2 and T3; post-ocular and metapleural surfaces with distinctive polished areas. Male.
