Diagnosis.
This species slightly resembles
S

(
S
.)
nigridentata
sp. nov.
in the shape of epandrium, surstylus, cercus (
Figs. 50A
,
55A
), and subepandrial sclerite (
Figs. 50F
,
55F
), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the small pregonite with 4 sensilla (
Fig. 50B, C
); the aedeagus with numerous minute, serrated processes distally (
Fig. 50B, C
); the aedeagal sheath distally cambered, not strongly expanded (
Fig. 50D, E
).
Description.
Male and female: First flagellomere black. Clypeus yellow. Mesonotum broadly dark brown medially, brown laterally (
Fig. 11E
). Katepisternum mostly yellowish, brownish on anterior corner (
Fig. 11F
). Scutellum dark brown, yellow at tip (
Fig. 11E
). Halter mostly grey (
Fig. 11F
). Fore femur with a row of 3 long setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites black (
Fig. 11E, F
); sternites brown, about 2 times as wide as long. Male terminalia (
Fig. 50
): Epandrium with
ca
. 14 setae on dorsal to posterior portions per side (
Fig. 50A
). Surstylus with 1 peg-like tooth, several setulae, and some pubescence near distal margin (
Fig. 50A
). Cercus with much pubescence (
Fig. 50A
). Hypandrium roundly expanded anteromedially (
Fig. 50B, C
). Aedeagus roundly expanded distally, lacking pubescence (
Fig. 50B, C
). Aedeagal sheath with numerous minute, serrated processes distally (
Fig. 50D, E
). Subepandrial sclerite vaulted, roundly expanded dorsally (
Fig. 50F
).
