Differential diagnosis
The male of S. australis sp. nov. shares with S. similis Shen & Yin, 2020 ( China: Zhejiang, Jiangxi) the similar body size and structure of the antennal clubs. These two species can be separated only by the following subtle differences: in S. australis sp. nov., the eyes are slightly larger, the dorsal margin of antennomere 11 is more convex, the upper (subbasal) protuberance of antennomere 11 is smaller, antennomere 9 in full view (when full widths are visible) is slightly more transverse and the apex of the aedeagus is narrower, and by their different distributions.
Etymology
The specific name indicates the distribution of the new species in southern China.
