Ipsiura tropicalis Bohart, 1985: 719 . Holotype ♂; Mexico: Morelos, 5 mi E Cuernavaca , 28.iii.1962, L.A. Stange (BME).

Material examined. 1♀, Obidos , 21.12.1904 Ducke / Brazil Estado do Pará / Chrysis ♀ leucocheila Mocs. <handwritten by Ducke > / ex Coll. Gribodo Brasile Pará A. Ducke ( MSNG); 2♀, data unrecorded from Obidos and Itaituba, leg. A. Ducke, ex Coll. Gribodo ( MSNG); 1♀, Obidos , 23.07.1902 Ducke / Chrysis ♀ leucocheila Mocs. Det. A. Ducke (NMBE); 1♀; Stieglmyr Rio Gr. do Sul / Chrysis leucocheila Mocs. R. du Buysson det. 1901 ( NHMW).

All the material collected by Ducke in Brazil (Obidos and Itaituba) deposited at NMBE, MNHN, MSNG, and NHMW was examined, but note that not all specimens are listed in “Material examined”. These specimens were identified as Chrysis leucocheila Mocsáry , but actually belong to Ipsiura tropicalis Bohart, 1985 , based on the key and descriptions provided by Lucena et al. (2016). Likely, specimens of Ipsiura tropicalis Bohart listed by Lucena et al. (2016) from the same localities (Obidos and Itaituba deposited at MPEG) were also identified as C. leucocheila by Ducke.
