Strigamia exul (Meinert, 1886) *

References for morphology: Meinert 1886; Cook 1896; Crabill in Mercurio 2010.

Taxonomic notes. Described originally as a species of Scolioplanes, it was cited rarely in the literature, under either Scolioplanes or Tomotaenia. After re-examining the holotype, Cook (1896) recognized it as a distinct species. It is assigned here to Strigamia for the first time (new combination) because it shares all major diagnostic features of Strigamia. However, it is considered a distinct species only tentatively, because available information is not enough to distinguish it confidently from other species, including S. epileptica and S. fusata.

Distribution: unknown. The single known specimen is of uncertain provenance, but probably from North America (Attems 1929; Mercurio 2010).
