sp. nov.
(

)
Diagnosis.
This species resembles
S. nigrithorax
Strobl,
1898
in some characters of the colour patterns of body (
Fig. 2E
) and semicircular gonopods (
Fig. 8E
), but can be distinguished by the median flaps of hypandrium (
Hu & Toda, 1994
; fused gonopod in
Bächli
et al
., 2004
) concave, spoon-like (
Fig. 8E, F
); aedeagus with numerous, serrated, minute processes medially (
Fig. 8C, D
). However, the minimum interspecific genetic distance is 3.1% to
S. pililobosa
(
Table 2
).
Description.
Male: Frons brown. First flagellomere yellow on basal 1/4, brown on distal 3/4. Clypeus yellow, slightly brownish medially. Palpus yellow. Katepisternum entirely white. Scutellum brown (
Fig. 2E
). Femur of foreleg with 5 long erect setae near distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites entirely dark brown medially, yellowish brown laterally (
Fig. 2E
). Male terminalia (
Fig. 8
): Epandrium protruded ventrally, with ca. 20 setae on posterior portion per side. Surstylus distally with numerous setulae on inner surface. Cercus lacking pubescence. Tenth sternite with 1 pair of processes submedially. Paramere lacking setula.
