Stigmatomeria Tuomikoski, 1966 is treated here as a genus following Vockeroth (1980, 1981) and Söli et al. (2000). Although this specimen lacks abdomen the generic characters, including vertical blackish marks on the coxae and distinctly swollen flagellars, clearly place it in Stigmatomeria . The determination seems rather safe as the two species names associated to this genus most likely refers only to S. crassicornis (see Söli et al. 2000 and Zaitzev 2003), and since Edwards (1924) who studied the apparently undamaged type synonymized M. spinicoxa with S. crassicornis . The type material of Cordyla canescens Zetterstedt, 1855 was unfortunately not located in any of the collections, but the species was synonymized by Edwards (1924) based on a female.
