Description

The endemic species Stiphroneura inclusa (Walker, 1853) and Vellassa maunieri Navás, 1924 occurring in the Oriental realm were compared. We identified that the original designation and monotypic genus Vellassa Navás, 1924 syn. n. is a junior synonym of Stiphroneura Gerstaecker, 1885, so Stiphroneura maunieri (Navás, 1924) comb. n. is a new combination. The genus Stiphroneura Gerstaecker, 1885 is redescribed. The recognition characters and distribution of the two species are given. Morphological characters are illustrated with several photos. Stiphroneura inclusa (Walker, 1853) is a new species in the local fauna of Laos and Nepal.
