about twice as far apart as wide (fig. 11). Body greenish blue ven- 
trally, becoming bluer laterally and purplish black dorsally, with 
black spots on vertex medially and sublaterally on pronotum and 
scutum, scutellum medially, transverse submedial stripe on T-I-II; 
T-III purple with whitish basolateral spot. 
Female. Same as male except 1 specimen much greener. 
Holotype male. COSTA RICA (davis). Paratypes, two females: 
PANAMA: Zona del Canal, Barro Colorado Is., 5 September 1981; 
BRAZIL: Amapa, 24 October 1978. 
Discussion. This species most closely resembles leucostigma and 
alabamensis based on the strongly flattened male flagellum, T-III 
with a transparent basolateral spot, the long malar space, and T-III 
with two large submedial pits. It can be distinguished by the indefi- 
nite transverse facial carina, presence of a pronotal carina, a small 
medial propodeal tooth, and convex lateral margin of T-III.

Discussion. Ipsiura is the most distinctive of these four taxa, and 
is being elevated to genus by Bohart (1985). The pronotal carina is 
so enlarged that the pronotum almost appears winged in some spe- 
cies. The gastral sterna are distinctive in both sexes. In males S-IV is 
large and visible externally; it is two-thirds or more as long as III 
(fig. 12), and is metallic colored. Female S-III is much longer than II 
(fig. 13). In males and often females the spots on S-II are large and 
only narrowly separated (fig. 12). Tergum III is also quite diagnos- 
tic; the pits are shallow and elongate or only indicated by long, 
vague depressions (fig. 7), and there are two to six apical teeth.
