Note: Hebard (1926:201) states: “This species ( E. opaca ) may prove to be a synonym of the Brazilian E. maculicollis (Serville) , and the Ecuadorian E. stigmosa Giglio-Tos may fall in the same synonymy.“ Princis (1958:63) synonymized E. stigmosa with E. conferta . According to Roth (1970c) Epilampra stigmosa is probably a different species from E. conferta .
