TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype taken in pitfall traps at an elevation of 5050 ft at Cerro Lagila, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia (Apr. 15–30, 1975; J. Kochalka), deposited in AMNH (PBI_OON 37104) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: In sternal morphology this species resembles S. donachui rather than S. kochalkai , but the male embolus is more diamond shaped in lateral view (figs. 752, 753, 819) and the anterior margin of the female genital atrium is straight (figs. 824– 826).

MALE (PBI_OON 37104, figs. 742– 777, 814–820): Total length 2.07. Elevated portion of pars cephalica granulate. Chilum small, triangular. Sternum surface finely reticulate. Anterior ledge of paturon with slight tubercle on inner margin. Endites with wide ventral process, tip of process flattened, directed laterally. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, r0-1-1, II p0-0-2, r0-1-0; tibiae I, II v4-4-2; metatarsi: I v2-2-2, II v2-2-0. Embolus diamond shaped in retrolateral view; cymbium fused with bulb but with clearly defined seam between, seam more obvious on prolateral side than on retrolateral side.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 37099, figs. 778– 813, 821–826): Total length 2.58. Postepigastric scutum covering about one-third of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora I, II p0-0-2, r0-1-1; tibiae I, II v4-4-2; metatarsi: I v2-2-2, II v2-2- 1p. Atrium short, wide; anterior genitalic process long, narrow.
