Introduction
Cephalochrysa has 4 species in the Nearctic, 8 in the Afrotropical, 3 in East Asia, 6 in Australia. C. texana is found in the USA and Mexico, and C. stenogaster is found in Japan and Taiwan (Woodley 2001).
Characteristics
Cephalochrysa can be distinguished from other Nearctic Sarginae except Microchrysa by the bare eye, the distal projection on the calypter, and the equilateral ocellar triangle near posterior margin of head. It can be distinguished from Microchrysa by the large d cell, M1 and M2 clearly ending in the wing margin, and cell cup two-thirds as long as the basal cells (James 1981).
