Lateral aspect of aedeagus as in Fig. 11. Female unknown. Comparative notes. Based on the similar shape of the body, transverse antennomere 7, similar shape of the crenulation of lateral margins of the pronotum, S. schillhammeri sp. nov. is related to the Chinese S. forteripunctatata, from which it can be distinguished by the paler coloration of the body, antennae and legs, the stronger elevations between punctures on the pronotum and the elytra, the presence of longitudinal depressions of the pronotum, slightly shorter elytra, and narrower and slightly longer parameres.
