Segment IX and X fused; segment IX sclerotized, short, dark brown; segment X membranous, brown, with posterolateral corners forming small semisclerotized setose lobes. Gonopore with pair of hairy vulvar scales.

Larva.
Body

; width
3.5 mm
. Sclerites brown, with distinct punctate pattern.
Head
: Head (
Figs. 1
d–1f)
4.5 mm
, width
1.4 mm
, posteriorly slightly wider, dorsally moderately concave, and ventrally convex in lateral view; head ground color yellowish brown, with distinct punctate pattern throughout head surfaces, with light markings around eyes; setae brown, relatively long, thick. Frontoclypeus anterior margin moderately round. Labrum with yellow hairlike setae near anterior membranous margin. Mandibles brown, with apical teeth; left mandible with brush of setae in median depression. Mentum triangular, anteroposteriorly narrow; submentum yellow, with brown median process, with setae on anterior angles.
Thorax
: Thoracic nota cylindrical, oblong, yellowish brown, with distinct punctate pattern and broad black posterior margin, with few long setae, with fringe of short slender setae anteromarginally, with pronotal median suture. Prothoracic pleura brown; median part and posterior margin of epimeron surrounding coxa black. Prosternite with moderate black median part anteriorly, extending posteriorly at both sides (

g). Forecoxae with two large dorsal conical processes (
Fig. 1
h); basal process
0.3 mm
, with seta subapically; apical process
0.2 mm
, curved downward. Legs nearly equal in length, yellowish brown; femur slightly broader apically, punctate; claws bifid, hooklike.
Abdomen
: Abdomen almost uniformly broad, greenish grey in live specimens, purple in alcohol, with scarce setae. Anal prolegs brown, stout, with few dark setae; claws hooklike.
Diagnosis.
The male adult of
S. angustata
Martynov
is similar to
S. uncinata
Navás
but can be distinguished by longer intermediate appendages of segment X. The larva is similar to
Stenopsyche
sp.
2 in
possessing distinctive punctate pattern of the head (
Figs. 1
d–1f) and median part of the posterior prosternite (
Fig.
1
g), but it has smaller dorsal processes the forecoxae (
Fig. 1
h).
