Diagnosis.
This species resembles S. changhai sp. nov. but can be distinguished by the following: six eyes ringed with black or eyes vestigial (Figs 22A View Figure 22 , 23B View Figure 23 ) (vs. absent); the lack of a bulbal apophysis (Fig. 22B-D View Figure 22 ) (vs. present), having a spine on the palpal tibia retrolaterally (Fig. 22D View Figure 22 ) (vs. absent), the absence of a femoral dorsal spine (Fig. 22C, D View Figure 22 ) (vs. present); and a globular receptacle (Fig. 23A View Figure 23 ) (vs. tube-shaped).
