Descriptive notes.

Data for SBL in Table 1. Habitus as in Fig. 62. The membranous hind wings are folded, not reduced in length. Both males and females with four terminal setae near the posterior margin on sternum VII.

Male genitalia. Fig. 63 A–C. Apical portion of phallic median lobe short, broadly tapered in dorsal aspect; endophallus with small basal darkened microtrichial field, best viewed in ventral aspect (endophallus inverted), without spines; without lamina.

Ovipositor and female reproductive tract. Very similar to that of S. californicus rufipes , which is illustrated, Fig. 64. Gonocoxite 2 (gc2) short, broad, apically bifurcate, slightly falcate. Spermathecal duct originating from common oviduct (co), with proximal one sixth attached to common oviduct, branching to spermathecal gland duct (spgd). Spermathecal duct above this branching is about 2 × as long as the spermathecal gland duct + spermathecal gland. Spermatheca (sp) sausage-like; spermathecal gland (spg) small, more or less bulbous, with swelling of duct basad gland.

Geographical distribution.

Fig. 65. This species is known only from Haiti, at Manneville and Port au Prince and vicinity, and western Dominican Republic, at Los Pinos.
