Diagnosis.
This species is related to
S
.
protuberans
sp. nov.
, but clearly distinguishable from the latter by the epandrium and aedeagus (in
S
.
protuberans
: epandrium not broadened on posterior margins, approximately twice as high as wide; aedeagus lacking sclerotized, round, minute processes basoventrally).
Description.
Male terminalia: Epandrium broadened on posterior margins, approximately 3/5 as high as wide, protruded ventrally (
Fig. 28
). Cercus with sporadic pubescence (
Fig. 28
). Surstylus with 8 prensisetae submedially (
Fig. 29
). Tenth sternite sclerotized and deeply separated basally, protruded apically (
Fig. 30
). Paramere with ca. 2 sensilla (
Figs 31, 32
). Aedeagus with scalelike, minute processes dorsally and several sclerotized, round, minute processes basoventrally, slightly semilunar on opening in ventral view (
Figs 31, 32
). Dorsomedial projection of gonopods with serrated, minute processes distally (
Fig. 34
).
