Figs 974–975 , 1022, 1064

Synonymy and redescription, see Huber & Arias (2017).

Note

A reexamination of González-Sponga’s (2005) Stenosfemuraia specimens from Galipán revealed that all of them represent S. parva , i.e., not only those correctly identified as S. parva (MAGS 1172) but also those misidentified as S. cuadrata (MAGS 1422) . Both records are listed below even though they are technically no new records.
