Head narrower than pronotum, anterior margin broadly rounded; crown broad, slightly wider than width of eyes, produced anteriorly about ¼ entire median length, lateral margins parallel, disk elevated, slightly foveate medially; pronotum large, nearly twice as long as crown, surface bullated; mesonotum large, about 1/3 longer than pronotum; forewings long, narrow, 3 anteapical cells present, outer one closed; clypeus long, broad, lateral margins broadly convex, median longitudinal carina prominent; clypellus about 1/3 as long as clypeus, narrow, lateral margins sinuate, inflated basomedially.
Male genitalia.
Pygofer in lateral view large, triangulate, caudoventral process large, lobed (

Figs. 143, 144
); aedeagus long, tubular in basal 4/ 5, semiglobular in apical 1/5, several short individual spines apically and subapically, set of 3 closely appressed spines subapically. (

Etymology
.
The name is descriptive for the semiglobular apex of the aedeagus.
Remarks
.
The unusual apex of the aedeagus (semiglobular) (
Figs. 145, 146
) will separate
S. semiovata
from all other known species.
