description: Microstigma Rambur, 1842
Of the three species in this genus, only one has been found in Ecuador. The wings are wide with brown and yellow tips (Fig. 41); breeding habitat is water-filled tree holes. Last revised by Schmidt (1958), this genus is in need of further revision (Garrison et al. 2010).
