Remarks. The specimens from Zhibenshan ( Yunnan) ( Fig. 7A–D View FIGURE 7 ), Huoditang ( Shaanxi), and Sanshenggou ( Sichuan) have remarkably positioned parameres (right paramere slightly rotated externally along longitudinal axis), which makes them look in dorsal view extremely different from the typical S. benesi (Ahrens 2005; Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ; holotype).
