Syntype, female, MLP no 1748/1; Argentina, Córdoba; 1883, Stempelmann leg.

Syntype, nymph, (numbered 206), MLP no 1748/2; same data as type.

Remarks: The specimens labelled as “ typus ”, here are considered as syntypes (ICZN, art. 73.2.1). The syntype 1748/1 has the right tegmen glued to the label. The series includes a female specimen from Córdoba, n° 1748/3, that it is labelled by Berg as “ cum type comparat ”.

This species was synonymized with Stictopelta indeterminata (Walker, 1858) by Funkhouser (1927: 159).
