Microstigma Rambur, 1842

Of the three species in this genus, only one has been found in Ecuador. The wings are wide with brown and yellow tips ( Fig. 41 ); breeding habitat is water-filled tree holes. Last revised by Schmidt (1958), this genus is in need of further revision (Garrison et al. 2010).
