Stilbops orientalis Kasparyan, 1984: 142.
Diagnosis. Anterior tentorial pit small (Fig. 2 J), its margin not concealed by setae; lower end of occipital carina effaced (Fig. 4 J); lower part of gena with weak concavity in lateral view (Fig. 3 J); lower margin of pronotum not angulate (Fig. 5 J); lateral part of pronotum with large smooth area (Fig. 5 J); propodeal carinae completely present; propodeal areas largely smooth; lateral margin of T1 weakly convex basally; metasomal tergites reddishbrown or red except for TI; tegula black.
