Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
S
.
(
S
.)
menghai
sp. nov.
in the shape of male terminalia (
Figs. 50
,
55
), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the pregonite blurry or absent (
Fig. 50B, C
); the aedeagus laterally deeply dehiscent and with 4 small black teeth per side, distally lacking serrated process (
Fig. 55B, C
).

Description.
Male and female: First flagellomere dark brown. Clypeus dark brown medially, yellow laterally. Mesonotum brown to black medially, brownish yellow to brown laterally (
Fig. 12E
). Katepisternum yellow above, brownish below (
Fig. 12F
). Scutellum dark brown to black (
Fig. 12E
). Halter mostly grey (
Fig. 12F
). Fore femur with a row of 3 or 4 long setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites mostly black (
Fig. 12E
, margin, lacking pubescence (
Fig. 55A
). Cercus with much pubescence (
Fig. 55A
). Hypandrium expanded anteromedially (
Fig. 55B, C
). Aedeagal sheath distally dorsad curved and with numerous minute, serrated processes (
Fig. 55D, E
). Subepandrial sclerite vaulted (
Fig. 55F
).
