( Figs 5D–F , 13 ) Diagnosis. Body yellowish brown ( Fig. 5E, F ); arista with five dorsal and four ventral branches in addition to terminal bifurcation ( Fig. 5D ); hypandrium triangle shaped in ventral view; phallapodeme curved in lateral view ( Fig. 13C, D ). This species exhibits the closest genetic affinity to S. latifoliacea sp. nov. in light of divergence in COI barcodes ( Table 2 ), but morphologically somewhat conflict with the diagnostic characters of the coracina species group. Description. Head ( Fig. 5D ): Frons brown. Pedicel yellowish brown. First flagellomere grayish. Facial carina brown, short, 1/3 the length of face. Thorax ( Fig. 5E, F ): Mesonotum yellow. Acrostichal setulae in ca. ten regular rows. Scutellum yellow. Pleura beige. Abdomen ( Fig. 5E, F ): Tergites II to V yellow with black caudal bands, the caudal bands on tergites II to V interrupted medially. Male terminalia ( Fig. 13 ): Epandrium with ca. 12 epandrial bristles near posterior and ventral margins per side. Surstylus with 8 peg-like surstylar teeth ( Fig. 13A, B ). Hypandrium with a pair of paramedian hypandrial bristle. Pregonite with 3 sensilla medially. Phallus lacking pubescence ( Fig. 13C, D ). Measurements.
