sp. nov.

Diagnosis
This species is related to
S
. (
O
.)
adentata
Toda and Peng, 1992
from southern
China
in the shape of aedeagus in ventral view, but can be distinguished by having the aedeagus dorsally not protruded in lateral view (
Figure 9
(d)). In
S. adentata
: aedeagus protruded posterodorsally (
Toda and Peng 1992
; figures 23 and 24). The 2.7% interspecific genetic distance to
S

laohlie
sp. nov.
is one of the smallest interspecific distances ascertained within this subgenus; see under that species.
Description
Clypeus dark brown to black. Palpus yellowish brown. Mesoscutum yellowish brown, brown to dark brown posteriomedially, with two pairs of thin, indistinct, brown longitudinal stripes sublaterally (
Figure 4
(c)). Scutellum mostly dark brown, yellow along margin, sometimes only at tip (
Figure 4
(c)). Katepisternum yellow. Wing yellow, brown anterodistally (Figure 2(g)). Abdominal tergites: 1st yellow; 2nd yellow medially, dark brown along posterior and lateral margins; 3rd to 5th mostly brownish to dark brown, yellow along anterior margins; 6th yellow medially, dark laterally (
Figure 5
(h)). Male terminalia: Epandrium nearly rectangular on posterolateral corners, with dense pubescence and setae (
Figure 9
(a)). Cercus lacking pubescence (
Figure 9
(a)). Surstylus small, lobe-shaped, only with several setae basally and apically (
Figure 9
(b)). Parameres absent (
Figure 9
(c, d)). Aedeagus sclerotized and bare dorsally, pubescent ventrally, apically slightly curved dorsad in lateral view, expanded outward on both sides of peristome (
Figure 9
(c, d)). Gonopods broadened, somewhat to hood-shaped (
Figure 9
(c, d)).
