Chloropsina did not exist in North America when the Manual of Nearctic Diptera was published. I see that there is a recent revision:

Nartshuk E.P. 2000: Holarctic grassflies of the genus Chloropsina Becker (Diptera, Chloropidae) with description of a new species. Entomologicheskoe Obozrenie 79: 254-261

I do not have a copy.

How does it differ from Chlorops? Is there any other genus with which it might be confused?

The last revision of Chorops as of 1983 was Becker (1912).
