Stenotarsus cyanopterus Gorham (1890:133)

Diagnosis. Length 4.5 mm; width 3.0 mm. Body oval, red­orange; each elytron with a central mark of a metallic blue shine; pronotum with the lateral margin narrow ( Fig. 4 ). Sexual dimorphism is unknown.

Remarks. This species was originally described from Panama. Only a female syntype (NHML) was studied. The narrow pronotal margin was commented upon by Arrow (1920), who transferred this species to Stenotarsus . Its placement here awaits further studies at the generic level.
