Diagnosis

Males of S. hyula resemble those of S. loxodonta sp. nov., S. planada and S. sylvilagus sp. nov. by the presence of a bifid VL and by the dVL not protruding, covered by long, thick modified hairs ( Figs 19B View Fig , 21E View Fig , 22E View Fig , 25B View Fig , 26B View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: figs 17b, 19b), differing from those of S. loxodonta by the SePP and embolus separated at base ( Fig. 37C–D View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19a) (SePP and embolus geminated at base in S. loxodonta – Fig. 10A View Fig ); from those of S. planada by the tooth-like TP1 ( Fig. 21C–D View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19a–b) (TP1 represented by a wide, serrated keel in S. planada – Fig. 21C View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 17a–b), and from those of S. sylvilagus , by the TP1 curved, pointing prolaterally ( Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19a) (TP1 straight, pointing apically in S. sylvilagus – Figs 25A View Fig , 26A View Fig ). Females are similar to those of S. roraimae , S. nigrinus and S. papilio sp. nov. by the epigynal plate without VEP, with CO disposed anteriorly in relation to SI ( Figs 7C View Fig , 23C–D View Fig , 44C–D View Fig , 45C–F View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: figs 19a, 23a), differing by the presence of a posterior median half-moon-shaped sclerotization on the ventral epigynal plate ( Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19c) (ventral epigynal plate without such a sclerotization in S. roraimae , S. nigrinus and S. papilio – Figs 7E–F View Fig , 44C–D View Fig , 45C–F View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 23s).
