The new species is similar to S. phangngaensis Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995 but can be distinguished by the very short copulatory duct and the large spherical spermathecae ( Figs 27A–B View Figure 27 ). S. phangngaensis has a long copulatory duct and small oval spermathecae (Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995: fig. 290).
