( Figs. 15 , 31 , 40 , 71 ) Diagnosis . This new species is similar to S. palpalis Papp and S. sumatrana , n. sp. , by all three possessing a indistinct bump or minute dorsal antennal process, but it can be distinguished from them by the brown mesonotum (mesonotum yellow to reddish brown in S. palpalis and S. sumatrana ) and the large obovate black male palpus (palpus smaller and differently shaped in S. palpalis and S. sumatrana ).

Antenna ( Fig. 31 ) scape and pedicel yellow; flagellomere ovoid, yellow with yellowish brown apicolaterally, clothed with white hairs, with short, pointed dorsal process distal to base of arista; arista 2.2 times length of flagellomere, styliform, bare; Thorax ( Fig. 40 ): shining brown; mesonotum and scutellum sparsely clothed with short hair-like setulae; propleuron yellow, remaining pleura brown; anepisternum with a few minute white hairs along prealar suture; katepisternum with white hairs ventrally near mid coxa. Wing : hyaline; vein R2+3 nearly straight, ending in costa before level of crossvein dm-cu; crossvein r-m at basal one-fourth of cell dm; veins R4+5 and M1+2 slightly converging distally; crossvein dm-cu perpendicular to CuA1; last section of CuA1 to wing margin shorter than dm-cu; halter white. Legs : yellowish white; fore coxa with 2 long yellowish white hairs; fore femur ( Fig. 71 ) dorsally with 4 short black thorn-like spicules in two groups, plus 3 longer subbasally; 8 minute medially and subapically; remainder of leg segments unmodified.

Not dissected; epandrium and surstylus shining brown, with admixed brown and white hairs; cerci light brown, narrow basally, flared and rounded apically, with 2 long black hairs medially, shorter yellow hairs apically and ventrally. Female . Unknown. Material examined . Holotype ♂ from MALAYSIA (Peninsular): Pahang : Tanah Rata , Jasar Peak , 1500–2000 m , 14–22 Mar 2011 , 4.4758°N , 101.3648°E , E. Jendek ( CNC ) .
