Remarks

The variations observed in species of S. tristani from Brazil are as in Mari Mutt ( 1987 a, 1987 b), as reduction of 2 mac in Th II ( p1p, p4), 4 in Th III ( p1p, p2p, p3p, p4), and 4 in Abd I ( a1–3, m5). However, in the specimens from Brazil frequently m1 mac is absent, and mucro may have 3 or 4 teeth, at least in one body side. These variations partially influence the diagnosis of S. tristani , since they were used for the difference therein of S. dedoris , S. hermana and S. panamae , at least the chaetotaxy of Th II-III (Mari Mutt, 1987 b). However, the reduced color pattern (typical pattern in S. dedoris ), collophore with 4–5 posterior chaetae ( 0–2 in S. dedoris and S. hermana ), and chaetotaxy of Th II–Abd I with extra mac present in S. tristani , are still the best way to differentiate, since in these species has reduced chaetotaxy (see Table 2 View Table 2 ).
