( Figs 13, 14 , 17 ) Length: ♂ , 4.7–4.9 mm (x 3 specimens ); ♀ , 5.0–5.2 mm (x 2 specimens ) Yellow marked with orange on vertex and disc of pronotum and scutellum; two incomplete transverse narrow bands on face dorsally coalescing to form a diamond-shaped mark. Forewing with a small brown spot in third apical cell. External features as in S . dellagiustinai ( Figs 1–3 ). Head relatively narrow in dorsal view with vertex slightly longer than basal width; fore margin of the head truncate in lateral view; clypeus narrow dorsally and antennae situated relatively high on face. Forewing with two recurved costal veins from outer subapical cell. Male pygofer, subgenital plate and connective as in S . dellagiustinai ( Figs 5, 8, 9 ): pygofer without processes, broadly rounded apically in lateral view with a group of very long setae apically and a few shorter setae subapically. Subgenital plate distinctly shorter than pygofer, broad basally with distal two thirds very narrow in ventral view; a uniseriate row of macrosetae subbasally and a few short fine setae distally. Connective with a pair of slender paraphyses, each paraphysis tapering distally. Style as in S . rubroguttatus ( Fig. 12 ). Aedeagus disassociated from connective; shaft elongate, as long as basal apodeme, with a pair of elongate apical processes and a dorsal serrated flange basally on each side, gonopore apical on posterior surface; basal apodeme compressed anteroposteriorly, bifurcate apically and produced into a lobe on each side at midlength ( Figs 13–14 ). Female pygofer in lateral view with tufts of very long macrosetae apically, shorter setae centrally and a uniseriate row subbasally adjacent to valvulae; pregenital sternite with posterior margin more or less straight.

Material examined. Holotype ♂ , UGANDA : Kawanda , nr Kampala , Buganda , m. v. trap , 6.x.1957 . Paratypes . UGANDA : 3♂ , same data as holotype ; 2♀ , Kamwezi, Kigezi, 5000’, short grass in valley, 9.viii.1957 ; 1♀ , Kuwanda , 28.vi.1957 , at light (all P.E.S. & E.M. Whalley , BMNH ) . Remarks. This species is similar to S . dellagiustinai , S . rubroguttatus and S . quangtriensis but can be distinguished by the dark mark dorsally on the face and the longer apical aedeagal processes.
