Discussion.
The species is very similar to Vietnamese
S. cattien
and
S. tatianae
, but differs from the two by: posterior margin of male sixth abdominal tergite with an obtusely rounded median lobe, and the median process of seventh abdominal tergite wide with center of posterior margin concave (
Fig. 5
D
–
E). In
S. cattien
, posterior margin of male sixth abdominal tergite slightly projected in the middle (
Fig. 6
A), and the posterior margin of median process of seventh abdominal tergite obtusely rounded. In
S. tatianae
, posterior margin of male sixth abdominal tergite without any process, and the posterior margin of median process of seventh abdominal tergite straight (
Fig. 6
D).
