Diagnosis.
Male of
S. lenachanae
can be distinguished from males of all other congeners except for
S. banxiaoensis
(
Fig. 6B, b
),
S. halongense
(
Fig. 6A, a
) and
S. singulare
(
Fig. 6C, c
) by the unbranched embolic tip, and the narrow, straight embolus (
Fig. 6D, d
vs.
Fig. 6E–H, e–h
). It differs from male of
S. banxiaoensis
by the lower ventral initial position of embolus (
Fig. 6D
vs.
Fig. 6B
), the wider embolic tip (
Fig. 6d
vs.
Fig. 6b
). From male of
S. halongense
by the smaller palpal tibia (
Fig. 6D
vs.
Fig. 6A
), and the smoother, no curved edge of embolic tip (
Fig. 6d
vs.
Fig. 6a
). From male of
S. singulare
by the blunt embolic tip (
Fig. 6d
vs.
Fig. 6c
), the shorter palpal bulb and the lower ventral initial position of embolus (
Fig. 6D
vs.
Fig. 6C
, higher position indicated by a blue arrow). Female of
S. lenachanae
can be distinguished from the females of all other congeners except for
S. singular
by the absence of central process (
Fig. 9B
vs.
Figs 2E
,
5C–D
,
7A–C
,
8A–B
). Female of
S. lenachanae
is closer to
S. singulare
in having similar configuration of vulva (
Fig. 9A–B
), but it differs from
S. singulare
by the longer lateral horns and the wider, straight vulval ducts (
Fig. 9B
vs.
Fig. 9A
).
