Stigmatomeria
Tuomikoski, 1966
is treated here as a genus following
Vockeroth (1980
,
1981
) and
Söli et al. (2000)
. Although this specimen lacks abdomen the generic characters, including vertical blackish marks on the coxae and distinctly swollen flagellars, clearly place it in
Stigmatomeria
. The determination seems rather safe as the two species names associated to this genus most likely refers only to
S. crassicornis
(see
Söli et al. 2000
and
Zaitzev 2003
), and since
Edwards (1924)
who studied the apparently undamaged
type
synonymized
M. spinicoxa
with
S. crassicornis
. The
type
material of
Cordyla canescens
Zetterstedt, 1855
was unfortunately not located in any of the collections, but the species was synonymized by
Edwards (1924)
based on a female.
