Diagnosis

Males of S. duidae resemble those of S. ovis sp. nov. by the VL bifid, dVL protruding and both vVL and dVL glabrous, without thick modified hairs ( Fig. 27B–D View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 20b). They differ by the vVL long, bifid in the distal third, the presence of AS, and by the embolus wide-based, with SePP not protruding, with reduced apical prongs ( Fig. 27C–D View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 20a–b) (vVL short, entire, AS absent, embolus narrow-based, with protruding SePP and well-developed apical prongs in S. ovis – Figs 29A–B View Fig , 30A–B View Fig ).
