Diagnosis
The male of the new species is somewhat similar to that of S. trichopus ( Roewer, 1928) by having a simple conductor with only one arm but differs by lacking a palpal patellar apophysis (vs present) and a longer embolus originating at the ca 2 o’clock position (vs 5–6 o’clock). The female of S. martinezi sp. nov. is most similar to that of S. nanus (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) by having an anterior hood and longitudinally oriented copulatory ducts but differs by having lateral hoods (vs lacking in S. nanus ).
Etymology
The new species is named after Cuban myriapodologist Carlos Alberto Martínez-Muñoz (University of Turku, Finland), a friend of the first author.
