Distribution. NEOTROPICAL – Argentina (Chaco), Colombia* (Córdoba, Sucre).

Remarks. In the original description of S. spinetta , the juxta is described as having a ‘well-developed apical process’ (Mulieri and Dufek, 2019). Our specimens clearly show the juxtal apical process medially membranous and apically divided, giving two apical lobes, which is a feature shared with the holotype (pers. comm. P. Mulieri). Also, the surstylus seems to vary in shape among specimens, being triangular in the holotype, while the surstylus apex is slightly more elongated in our specimens ( Fig. 6B View Fig ). The posterior margin of sternite V is slightly more curved in our specimens ( Fig. 6A View Fig ) than in the paratype of S. spinetta .
