Among all species of Stenomastigus with protrochanters projecting distally, S. berlinafricanus has the longest aedeagus, with the most evenly curved long paramere in left lateral view. The relatively dark body pigmentation found in this species is also characteristic of S. kosianus sp. n. (all remaining species belonging to this group are yellowish-testaceous). The latter species can easily be distinguished by its very long, rod-like protrochanters.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CCDB58E627FF9437CD79B7FF50F826	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Females of this species cannot be distinguished from S. kochi and species identification is possible only when females have been collected together with males in the same locality. The key provided by Leleup (1968) is incorrect and the illustration showing the elytra of S. kochi in lateral view (Fig. 126 in Leleup, 1968) is misleading. In fact the female of S. kochi has the elytra in lateral view identical to that of S. allaeri and very similar to that illustrated by Leleup in his Fig. 125.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CCDB58E629FF9D37CD7DE4FDD0F900	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
