Difference?
Thank you JD. Can you say briefly what the difference is between the two species?

the male
When the male is present, that's when it's easiest to distinguish them.

The male of senatoria has a HW that is sharply acute-angled (at the anal angle), and the FW is partially hyaline as the one in your photo.

The male of stigma has a much more rounded HW and a non-hyaline FW.

Hope that helps.
