Genus Stephanopis O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1869

Comments.

This genus includes 23 species ( WSC 2022). Most of them are distributed in South America, Oceania, Australia, and Papua New Guinea ( WSC 2022). The recent phylogenetic analyses based on a matrix of 117 morphological characters scored for 77 terminal taxa have revealed a large variation in morphology among Stephanopis species ( Machado and Teixeira 2021); these taxonomic revisions have greatly contributed to a better understanding of the group. Here we report the first species from the Asian continent as well as from the entire Oriental zoogeographical realm.
