Identification
Members of the Stobaera can be distinguished from other delphacid planthoppers by genitalia characteristics and wing venation patterns. The specific identification of S. muiri requires examination of male genitalia structures. As with most delphacids, the presence of a movable spur on the hind tibia separates this from other planthopper families.
Distribution
Recorded from California, North America. GBIF distribution records indicate presence in California with occurrence data from Cuba (CU) also listed, though the primary confirmed distribution appears to be California.
