Type material. Holotype ♂, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, Luki Biosphere Reserve , primary forest, end of dry season, fogging (fog 18), 5°37’S, 13°05’E, 1.X.2007, D. De Bakker and J.-P. Michiels ( MRAC 227854 ) GoogleMaps . Paratypes: 1♂, REPUBLIC OF CONGO, Kindamba, Méya , Loulo river, 3°53’S, 14°31’E, HSZE Nr. 160, netted and singled material from low vegetation, 11.XI.1963, J. Balogh and A. Zicsi ( HNHM Araneae-685 ). GoogleMaps

Diagnosis. Males can be easily separated from S. rubrofasciata and S. kindamba by the stronger dorsal tibial apophiysis bending dorsad ( Fig. 8 View Figures 2-8 , arrow) and by the medial tibial apophysis without a dorsal bump ( Fig. 7 View Figures 2-8 , arrow).

Etymology. The species is named after Prof. Christo Deltshev, the well-known Bulgarian arachnologist, on the occasion of his 70th anniversary.
