Diagnosis

the male of
S.
dentichelis
(
Figure 5
) can be identified by the robust, slightly divergent chelicerae, oblique fang groove (see
Galiano 1963
, figs. 3-4), promargin of the fang groove with a large lobed process at the base, retromargin with a large truncated apex tooth, two smaller teeth on its inner edge, three more small retromarginal teeth very close together (see
Galiano 1963
, figs. 3-4), and their lack of an acute paraembolic projection on the pedipalp (
Figures 6- 7
; see
Costa & Ruiz 2014
, figs. 92-93).
