This species is similar to S. seminigrinus ( Yu & Pang, 1993) in body size and external colouration, but can be distinguished from the later by the penis guide apically blunt in ventral view ( Fig. 32d View FIGURE 32 ). In S. seminigrinus , penis guide has a small protuberance at apex in ventral view (Fig. 38k).

Pronotum and scutellar shield yellowish brown. Elytra yellow with a large black marking near the base. Ventral surfaces yellowish brown to black. Legs yellowish brown. Abdominal postcoxal lines incomplete, not recurved toward the base of ventrite ( Fig. 32a View FIGURE 32 ).

Male genitalia: Penis stout, penis capsule with stout outer arm and long inner one, apex of penis expanded with distinct membranous appendage ( Figs 32b–c View FIGURE 32 ). Penis guide with prominent keel at base in lateral view, then tapering towards apex; parameres about 1/3 as long as penis guide, with a tuft of long setae at apex; penis guide widest at base in ventral view ( Fig. 32d View FIGURE 32 ).
