ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
DIAGNOSIS: The genitalia closely resemble those of
S. kochalkai
; males have a relatively short, wide embolus with the ventrally directed hook on its prolateral edge (figs. 843–846) less abruptly narrowed; females have an arched anterior margin on the genitalic atrium (figs. 850–852) and a similarly arched posterior margin. Both sexes have a reticulate, rather than smooth, sternal surface (see above).
MALE (PBI_OON 37102, figs. 840–846): Total length 2.10. Elevated portion of pars cephalica granulate. Chilum small, triangular. Sternum surface finely reticulate. Anteri- or ledge of paturon with small tubercle on inner margin. Endites with wide ventral process flattened distally, tip directed laterally. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, r0-1-1, II p0-0-2; tibiae: I v4-4-2, II v4-4-1p; metatarsi I, II v2-2-
1p.
Embolus relatively short, wide, with ventrally directed hook on prolateral edge.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 678, figs. 847–852): Total length 2.49. Postepigastric scutum only around epigastric furrow. Leg spination: femora I, II p0-0-2, r0-1-1; tibiae I, II v4-4- 2; metatarsi: I v2-2-2, II v2-2-
1p.
Atrium ovoid; anterior genitalic process small, needlelike, base poorly sclerorized; apodemes distally convergent.
