Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
S
.
(
S
.)
cornuta
sp. nov.
in the shape of epandrium, surstylus, cercus (
Figs. 32A, 32B
,
63A
), aedeagus (
Figs. 32C, 32D
,
63B, 63C
), and subepandrial sclerite (
Figs.32E, 32F
,
63D, 63E
), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the cercus with sparse pubescence (
Fig. 63A
); the pregonite blurry or absent (
Fig. 63B, C
); the subepandrial sclerite nearly triangular (
Fig. 63F
).

Description.
Male and female: First flagellomere brown. Clypeus brown. Mesonotum brownish (
Fig. 14A
). Katepisternum yellowish (
Fig. 14B
). Scutellum brown (
Fig. 14A
). Halter mostly grey (
Fig. 14B
). Fore femur with a row of 3 long setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites dark brown (
Fig. 14A, B
); sternites dark brown, about 1.2 times as wide as long. Male terminalia (
Fig. 63
): Epandrium with
ca
. 12 setae on dorsal to posterior portions per side (
Fig. 63A
). Surstylus with 1 peg-like tooth and some setulae near distal margin, lacking serrated process and pubescence (
Fig. 63A
). Hypandrium roundly expanded anteromedially (
Fig. 63B, C
). Aedeagus with numerous minute, serrated processes distodorsally and much pubescence distoventrally (
Fig. 63B, C
). Aedeagal sheath distally slender, strongly dorsad curved, and with some minute, serrated processes (
Fig. 63D, E
).
