Foretarsi with apical black spots on the anterior and posterior surface of the tarsomeres I to IV, and a basal black spot on the anterior surface of tarsomere I. Discoidal area of the forewings hyaline, or hyaline with a narrow opaque-green stripe anteriorly after the stigma. Spot on the stigma medium sized, with a distal brown stripe and a proximal brown spot. Hindwings completely hyaline ( Fig. 56 View FIGURE 56 A).

Genitalia. Left phallomere longer than wide; sclerite L4B longer than 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. 42 View FIGURE 42 F); pda short, narrow, bent to the right, apex strongly sclerotized, tapered ( Fig. 45 View FIGURE 45 F); afa short, parallel to the body axis ( Fig. 43 View FIGURE 43 F), right margin smooth, slightly sinuous ( Fig. 44 View FIGURE 44 F), posterior apex tumid, rugged, sclerotized, with two projections, one on the right margin and the other apical, anterior apex bent to the right, margins sclerotized, tumid, without forming a groove ( Fig. 43 View FIGURE 43 F); loa short, bent to the right ( Fig. 43 View FIGURE 43 F); membrane adjacent to afa glabrous ( Fig. 43 View FIGURE 43 F). Right phallomere with the posterior apex angular; bm short with a gentle expansion on the middle ( Fig. 46 View FIGURE 46 F); pia short, strongly sclerotized ( Fig. 47 View FIGURE 47 F–48F); pva short, sclerotized, rectangular apex ( Fig. 48 View FIGURE 48 F); an elongated, apex smoothly rounded ( Fig. 47 View FIGURE 47 F).

Forecoxae with 7–16 large spines, which alternate with 4–12 smaller spines ( Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37 E). Forefemora slender, the first three discoidal spines black on their anterior surface; 14–17 anteroventral spines, usually 15, the first spine and all the big spines black on their anterior surface, the 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th spines may present a small spot of the same coloration on their insertion, the 15th spine presents a large spot of the same coloration that extends to the femoral brush. Anterior femoral spot extending from the femoral groove to the 6th spine, rectangular, starting dark on the groove and fading towards the apex of the femora ( Fig. 39 View FIGURE 39 E). Foretibiae with 11–12 posteroventral spines, and 14–17 anteroventral spines, usually 15; tibial spur and the spine before it black on their anterior surface, the tibiae have a black spot on the middle of their anterior surface ( Fig. 41 View FIGURE 41 E). Foretarsi with apical black spots on the anterior and outer surface of the tarsomeres I to IV, and a basal black spot on the anterior surface of tarsomere I. Spot on the stigma oval, large sized, almost reaching the margin of the discoidal area, with an anterior white spot, a proximal dark-brown spot and a postero-lateral light-brown spot. Costal area of the hindwings hyaline, discoidal and anal areas yellow, their margins hyaline with yellow stripes on the crossveins ( Fig. 56 View FIGURE 56 B).

Genitalia.

Remarks. Stagmatoptera supplicaria was described by Burmeister (1838) based on the description and illustrations presented by Stoll (1787, 1813). Audinet-Serville (1839) described S. flavipennis based on the same description and illustrations. This situation prompted Kirby (1904) to synonymize both species under the name S. supplicaria . However, Giglio-Tos (1914, 1927) disagreed with Kirby (1904) and distinguished both species on the basis of certain differences in the shape of the apex of the female forewings and the coloration of male forewings. After examining specimens attributed to both species we concluded that these differences are insufficent to warrant a separation into two different species. Therefore, we reinstate the synonymy first proposed by Kirby (1904). Stagmatoptera supplicaria exhibits marked sexual dimorphism in the spot on the stigma and, like S. binotata , it is widepread in the Amazon rainforest.
