Taxonomical note.
The original description of
Stephanocranion bufoninus
is based upon a female from Pedra- Açu, Teresópolis,
Rio de Janeiro state
. Although it lacks any illustration, some parts of the description led us to synonymize
S
.
bufoninus
with
Discocyrtus crenulatus
(a species common in Teresópolis), in contrast to
Kury’s (2003)
assessment as a member of
Gonyleptellus
. The features shared by the female of
D
.
crenulatus
and the description of
S
.
bufoninus
include: elevated ocularium, armed with a pair of robust erect spines; mesotergum convex, with hemispherical granulations; area III armed with a pair of robust erect spines; femora III–IV with apical posterior spine; general color brown burnt with large yellow hemispherical granulations.
