Diagnosis. This species is similar to S. bivalvis (Yu, 1997) in structures of the male genitalia, but can be distinguished from the later by elytra with two yellow C-shaped patterns, and parameres about 1/3 as long as penis guide ( Figs 28a–b, 28g View FIGURE 28 ). In S. bivalvis , elytra are black with yellowish brown apices, parameres are about 1/2 as long as penis guide ( Figs 39a–b, 39g View FIGURE 39 ).
Description. TL: 1.55–2.45 mm, TW: 1.07–1.83 mm, TH: 0.67–0.92 mm.
Body oval, moderately convex, surfaces covered with short pubescence ( Figs 28a–c View FIGURE 28 ). Head yellowish brown with interocular distance distinctly greater than eye width in frontal view. Pronotum yellowish brown, sometimes with a black spot. Scutellar shield black. Elytra with two yellow C-shaped patterns as show in Figure 28a View FIGURE 28 . Ventral surfaces yellow to black. Legs yellowish brown. Abdominal postcoxal lines incomplete, recurved toward the base of ventrite ( Fig. 28d View FIGURE 28 ).
Male genitalia: Penis stout, penis capsule with stout outer arm and long inner one, apex of penis constricted with membranous appendage ( Figs 28e–f View FIGURE 28 ). Penis guide with prominent keel at base in lateral view, then tapering towards pointed apex; parameres about 1/3 as long as penis guide, with a tuft of long setae at apex; penis guide approximately parallel sided for basal 1/ 3 in ventral view, apically pointed ( Figs 28g –h View FIGURE 28 ).
Female genitalia: Coxites elongate, triangular; styli well developed with terminal setae; spermatheca distinctly curved, with basal ramus and elongate nodulus.
