The species now included in Chrysemosa were all previously placed in Suarius Navas following Tjeder (1966). Tjeder grouped all the Afrotropical chrysopine species which lacked a tignum and gonapsis in Suarius. Although this probably is the apomorphic condition for the Chrysopini, never- theless, the tignum and gonapsis appear to have been lost independently several times in the tribe and the resulting group appears to be para- phyletic. However, Tjeder recognized that the jeanneli group of species (his group c) differed from the rest of Suarius because, unlike the other species then included in the genus, the ento- processus were narrow and fused apically to each other dorsal of the arcessus. He also noted that they each possessed what he referred to as an apical apodeme of sternite 8+9. However, it is more likely that this structure is homologous with a gonapsis since an apodeme does not occur in this position in any other genus of Chrysopidae. The holotype of C. stigmata, the type species of Chrysemosa, was deposited in Hamburg Museum but was destroyed during the Second World War (Striimpel, in lift.). Nevertheless, from Navas's (1936a) description it is possible to deduce that Chrysemosa stigmata Navas is referable to the jeanneli group of species. C. stigmata is a small species, the fore wing is only 9 mm, with only one inner and two outer gradate crossveins. A dark brown mark is described as being situated between the oblique apical branches of the cubitus and the proximal
