Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality; noun.
Diagnosis. The new species is similar to S. apo Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995 but can be distinguished by the posteriorly curved tip of the afferent spermathecae ( Fig. 20B View Figure 20 ). The tip of the afferent spermathecae is curved anteriorly in S. apo (Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995: figs 223–224).

Sternum light yellow, suffused with purplish color, as long as wide ( Fig. 20D View Figure 20 ). Endites light yellow, suffused with purplish tinge; with serrula; labium light yellow, suffused with purplish tinge. Clypeus nearly vertical; short. Chelicerae light yellow; promargin with a series of six teeth reaching the lamina; retromargin with two very small denticles ( Fig. 58D View Figure 58 ).

Legs light yellow; leg lengths I, II, IV missing; III 1.35 (0.40, 0.13, 0.30, 0.29, 0.23). Genitalia. Internal genitalia with afferent spermathecae short, not extending past the sides of the abdomen; tip of the afferent spermathecae curved posteriorly from epigastric furrow ( Fig. 20B View Figure 20 ); spermathecae small, round ( Fig. 20A View Figure 20 ).
