S. nitens
in having many tubercles on the carapace, arrayed in triangular patches opposite the coxae (fig. 201), but have an iridescent, unpatterned abdomen, a relatively short embolus (figs. 204–207), and a long base of the anterior genitalic process (figs. 209, 210).

Sternum surface smooth, covered with large round pits, microsculpture only around furrows, furrows with rows of small pits, anterior margin with interrupted transverse groove. Endite tip with tiny rounded protrusions. Distal portion of embolus with basal grooves on both prolateral and retrolateral sides.
