Remarks. Stomopteryx spathulella was described from several specimens of both sexes (Nel et al. 2019). DNA barcoding of the holotype failed but the species belongs to an unresolved species complex, reflected in the extraordinarily divergent barcodes comprising eight different BINs as well as differences in phenotype. However, as pointed by Huemer & Karsholt (2020), the whole complex requires thorough revisionary work and a re-evaluation of available names.
