This seems to be a rare species and is probably confined to West Africa. This species is close to S. claviformis sp. n. and S. africana sp. n. but can be sepa- rated from them in having medium sized rostrum only slightly extending beyond apices of second coxae (extending well beyond the apices of second coxae in clavi- formis and in africana never extending beyond second coxae). Its bifurcated fourth right lateral conjunctival appendage is its peculiarity. Stenocoris {Stenocoris) maculosa (Blote) comb. n.
