It differs from R. stictica by the size of the wing spots, which are larger in R. clavipes, and from R. nudipes by the number and sharpness of the spots, which are more distinct and numerous in R. clavipes . Furthermore, R. clavipes differs by features of the male genitalia as follows: surstylus straight (falciform in R. nudipes) and anchor-shaped dorsal process of hypandrial arms with short branches (long branches in R. nudipes and R. stictica). Ropalomera clavipes was revised by Kirst &amp; Ale-Rocha (2012).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F13A4EFFF4FFE7FF02AF9DFB1B2184	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Julien Touroult &amp; Eddy Poirier (FR-GU/ Mitaraka /2015) – sample code: MITARAKA /222 (sorted by Marc Pollet, 2015), 1 ♂, MNHN .</p><p>DISTRIBUTION. — French Guiana (first record), Brazil (Amapá, Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Maranhão, Pará, Rondônia), Bolivia.</p><p>DIAGNOSIS. — Frons (Fig. 1E) with fine yellow pilosity, yellow, darkened around ocellar triangle and vertex; face dark brown; scutum brown with acrostichal and dorsocentral stripes of pale yellow or silvery pruinosity; pleura with stripe of silvery pruinosity extended from proepisternum to metathoraxic spiracle; wing slightly infuscated with darkened areas along the veins, especially R 2 + 3, R 4 + 5, r-m and M 1; fore femur with silvery pruinosity, posterior surface and apical half of posteroventral surface shiny, lacking pruinosity, proximal half of posteroventral surface bare; mid femur with 2-3 preapical seta and 1 dorsoapical, strong and curved spine-like setae; mid tibia ventrally with apical spine-like seta; abdomen with bluish reflections; postgonites bilobate; phallus with spinelike apical projections; dorsal process of hypandrial arms with very long lateral branches.</p><p>COMMENTS</p><p>Ropalomera tibialis is similar to R. titillator Steyskal, 1967 . Both species bear a pleural region with a stripe of silvery pruinosity extending from anepisternum to anepimerum. Ropalomera tibialis can be distinguished from the latter species by the presence of a brown scutum and black setae on the anterior surface of the mid femur and the apex of the mid tibia, whereas the scutum of R. titillator is reddish brown and the setae on the anterior surface of the mid femur and the apex of the mid tibia are rather red or dark brown. Both species were revised by Kirst &amp; Ale-Rocha (2012).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F13A4EFFF4FFE6FC42A8FEFE31249A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ropalomera can be distinguished from Apophorhynchus by the presence of an ocellar seta; from Rhytidops and Willistoniella by the central tubercle on the face, while a carina is lacking; from Kroeberia, Lenkokroeberia and Dactylissa by the plumose arista; and from Mexicoa by the presence of postpronotal setae, a plumose arista and 1-3 setae on the upper margin of the metathoraxic spiracle.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F13A4EFFF4FFE7FF03AA51FDFE2665	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
