Diagnosis.
Male of
S. wulongensis
differs from males of all other congeners with the exception of
S. bifurcata
by the furcate embolus (
Fig. 6E–e
vs.
Fig. 6A–D, 6a–d, 6G–H,
6g
–h
); it differs from male of
S. bifurcata
by the narrower, longer oval bulb, the embolus with two equilong tip branches, and the embolus starts from the submesialback surface of bulb, but the embolus of
S. bifurcata
with asymmetric branches that origins from prolateral surface of bulb (
Fig. 6E–e
vs.
Fig. 6F–f
). Female of
S. wulongensis
seems also close to
S. bifurcata
having a similar vulval structure, but it can be distinguished by the lager “ω”-shaped inner vulval plate, and the longer, weakly sclerotized central process (
Fig. 7F
vs.
Fig. 7D
).
