REVISION OF SPECIES OF STILOBEZZIA KIEFFER 97 



absent on II, present on III. Genitalia (fig. 78f-h) similar to those 

 of notata, but tergum IX not as elongate; basistyle shorter beyond 

 the mesal swelling; dististyle elongate, strongly sclerotized, slightly 

 narrower in midportion with blunt tip; aedeagal sclerites more slender 

 at base; paramere as stout as distal portion of aedeagal sclerite, 

 sinuate and heavily sclerotized except as bent portion of the relatively 

 stout, pointed tip.

Discussion. — This species is closely related to notata, and only 

 male individuals can be distinguished from that species with certainty 

 by using the stouter, sinuate, more heavily sclerotized paramere, 

 shorter, more rounded tergum IX, shorter basistyle and stouter, 

 more basally constricted dististyle as distinctions. Typically females 

 of supernotata can be distinguished by the extreme reduction of the 

 mesal pale spots on tergum IV, slightly darker lateral borders of the 

 scutal vittae, the more saturate dark markings on the hind femur, 

 and the higher frequency of the lightly sclerotized spermathecae, 

 which also have shorter, slenderer necks. 



From his figure of the male genitalia, and assuming that his refer- 

 ence to the abdominal color pattern described by Johannsen for 

 perspicua was of a notata type pattern, Macfie's (1934) description 

 of notata from Sumatra applies to supernotata.
