We did not study the female
holotype
of
Steleoceromys anthracina
, but the description and illustrations are detailed enough that we are confident that all material we have examined is congeneric. The only discrepancy is that in our material vein
CuA
forms nearly a right angle with
Cu
and
CuP
(Fig. 38), while the wing illustration in
Grünberg (1915)
shows vein
CuA
at a slightly wider angle. But because all the other characters are in accordance with our material we think that the illustration might not be correct. The female
holotype
of
Psapharomydops procera
(
Fig. 11
) was examined [
MRAC
] and fits the description of
Steleceromys
very well. We have several undescribed species of
Steleoceromys
on hand.
