Discussion. We examined a single small, pale yellowish brown female from Guadeloupe that belongs to the subgenus Acanthohelea Kieffer. The head is brown with dark brown flagellomeres, and the eyes are very narrowly separated. The thorax is yellowish brown with pale humeral areas, the scutellum has 4 stout setae and the legs are pale yellowish; the wing membrane is slightly infuscated with abundant macrotrichia on distal portions of cells r 3 and m 1. The abdomen is yellowish brown and it has two partially collapsed spermathecae with short broad necks. However, because males in the genus Stilobezzia often possess important specific characters in their genitalia, we are reluctant to name this species.

Specimen examined. Guadeloupe, Basse Terre, Bois Malher, 9-IX-2011, MC Thomas & RH Turnbow, Blacklight trap, 1 female.
