Diagnosis

Based in part on Seiter et al. (2015), this species may be separated from the geographically closest species, S. brachydactylus and S. curioi , by the following combination of characters: six setae on anterior margin of carapace without prominent corners (as in S. curioi ); margin of genital operculum with several setae; female gonopods soft, conical; cheliceral claw with teeth (absent in S. curioi ); sexual dimorphism in male pedipalps, with femur and tibia elongate; pedipalp surface granular (smooth in S. brachydactylus ); pedipalp tarsus with two very short, separated dorsal spines (geminate in S. curioi ).

Etymology

Patronym honoring Siegfried Huber for his contributions to the study of whip spiders ( Seiter et al. 2015).
