Identification
Heterick (2009) - Stigmacros stanleyi and Stigmacros pilosella are two reddish brown species which have erect setae on the mesosoma, and non-marginal as well as marginal setae on the tergites of the gaster. The propodeum in S. stanleyi is truncate and rather square in dorsal view, whereas the propodeum in S. pilosella is oblique and identical with that of S. epinotalis.
