| Abstract: | The tabanid genus Stypommisa is redefined and 28 species are included. Of these 26 are keyed, the remaining 2 omitted for lack of fresh material. Twenty names associated with the genus at various times are considered synonyms, nomina nuda or belonging in other genera. Seven new species are described and figured: S. anoriensis sp. nov. from north-west Colombia; S. apicalis sp. nov. from east Peru, east Bolivia and west Brazil (Rondonia, Para and Mato Grosso); S. aripuana sp. nov. from Mato Grosso, Brazil; S. changena sp. nov. from mountains of west Panama and east Costa Rica; S. kroeberi sp. nov. from east Peru and east Bolivia; S. spilota sp. nov. from east Peru; and S. xanthicornis sp. nov. from Santa Catarina, Brazil. |
