Diagnosis. Internal femoral spot extending to the 8th spine; spot on the stigma of males elongated, not circular, spot on the stigma of females circular; apical spots on the tarsi only on the internal surface.
Redescription. Male —Prothorax slender, lateral margins slightly crenulated on the prozona, smooth on the metazona. Metazona with a weakly marked central keel ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 E). Forecoxae with 7–10 large spines, which alternate with 2–10 smaller spines ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 E). Forefemora broad, the first three discoidal spines dark on their anterior surface; 13–16 anteroventral spines, usually 15, the first spine and all the large spines dark on their anterior surface, the 10th, 12th and the 15th spines may feature a small spot of the same coloration on their insertion. Anterior femoral spot extending from the femoral groove to the 8th anteroventral spine, rectangular, matte black color on the base of the spines and either partially effaced black color or completely effaced ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 E). Foretibiae with 10–12 posteroventral spines, usually 11, and 15–16 anteroventral spines; tibial spur black on its anterior surface; the tibiae have a dark spot on the middle of their anterior surface ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 E). Foretarsi with black apical spots on the anterior surface of tarsomeres I to IV and a black basal spot on the anterior surface of tarsomere I. Discoidal area of the forewings with an opaque-green stripe anteriorly, gradually becoming hyaline. Stigma spot elongated, small, with an anterior white spot and a posterior brown spot. Discoidal and anal area completely hyaline or hyaline with a single row of yellow stripes on the crossveins ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 A).
Genitalia. Left phallomere longer than wide, sclerite L4B as long as wide; paa elongated, slightly dilated on the left side of its base, angled approximately 45° from the body axis, afterwards curving to the left, apex simple, directed ventrally ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 E); pda short, narrow, flattened, sharply bent 90° to the right, apex strongly sclerotized, tapered ( Fig. 16 View FIGURE 16 E); afa elongated, parallel to the body axis ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 E), right margin smooth and slightly sinuous ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 E), posterior apex tumid, without projections, rugged, and strongly sclerotized, anterior apex straight, margins strongly sclerotized and tumid, without forming a groove ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 E); loa short, bent to the right ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 E); membrane adjacent to afa glabrous ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 E). Right phallomere with posterior apex rounded; bm short, with an expansion on the middle ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 E); pia elongated, weakly sclerotized ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 E–19E); pva short, strongly sclerotized, apex rectangular ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 E); an elongated, apex abruptly rounded ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 E).

Forecoxae with 7–14 large spines, which alternate with 4–8 smaller spines ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 D). Forefemora broad, the first three discoidal spines dark on the anterior surface; 15–17 anteroventral spines, usually 15, the first spine and all the large spines dark on their anterior surface, the 10th and the 12th spines may feature a small spot of the same coloration on their insertion. Anterior femoral spot extending from the femoral groove to the 8th internal spine, rectangular and effaced black color ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 D). Foretibiae with 10–12 posteroventral spines, usually 11, and 14–17 anteroventral spines, usually 16; tibial spur green on its anterior surface; the tibiae may feature a dark spot on the middle of their anterior surface ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 D). Foretarsi with black apical spots on the anterior surface of tarsomeres I to IV and a black basal spot on the anterior surface of tarsomere I. Spot on the forewing stigma circular, medium sized, without reaching the middle of the discoidal area, with an anterior white spot and a posterior brown spot. Costal area of the hindwings hyaline, discoidal and anal areas hyaline with yellow stripes on the crossveins ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 B).
Female genitalia: Base of gonapophysis VIII not projecting inwards ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20 D); bv roughly triangular, anterior apex expanded ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20 D), the inner surface sculpted ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 D); ib strongly sclerotized and sculpted ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 D); pe short, weakly sclerotized, with smooth margins ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 D); gs sclerotized, smooth ( Fig. 22 View FIGURE 22 D); ls roughly rectangular, posterior process elongated, conical ( Fig. 22 View FIGURE 22 D).

Remarks. Giglio-Tos (1914) described Stagmatoptera ignota based on a female without locality data. We were able to study the types of S. femoralis , and the type of S. ignota through pictures sent by the curator of the MRSN collection, as well as additional specimens from both species. We could not find any distinguishing morphological characters that justify the separation of these two species; thus, we consider that both names refer to the same species.
Distribution. Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay [?], Suriname.
