Remarks. Stagmatoptera supplicariawas described by Burmeister (1838)based on the description and illustrations presented by Stoll (1787, 1813). Audinet-Serville (1839) described S. flavipennisbased 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 supplicariaexhibits marked sexual dimorphism in the spot on the stigma and, like S. binotata, it is widepread in the Amazon rainforest.
