Remarks. As pointed out by Rodrigues & Cancello (2016), Burmeister (1838) has to be credited as the author of the species, not Stoll (1813). While a female of St. supplicaria is figured in both Stoll (1787) and the 1813 reprint, it is misidentified as St. precaria (Linnaeus, 1758) . Very common at the study site.
