Notes: Considered a junior synonym of Strigamia parviceps Wood, 1862 by Chamberlin (1954 - Entomological News, 65: 119), but actually different from this latter species according to the original description. Considered a junior synonym of Diplochora laevipes (Wood, 1862) by Chamberlin (1912 - Pomona Journal of Entomology, 4: 659), but this is still uncertain.
