Diagnosis

Males of S. tridentatus resemble those of S. peckorum by the DTA absent and by the medially inserted embolus ( Fig. 8C–F View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: figs 14a–b, 22a–b). They differ by the tibia with AS short, inserted apically on vVL; embolus filiform, with long apical prongs ( Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 14a–b) ( AS long, with wide base, inserted on tibial surface; embolus widened, flat and triangular, with reduced apical prongs in S. peckorum – Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 22a–b). Females differ from those of other species with shallow sternal excavations ( S. lupulus , S. oxossi and S. archangelus ) by the absence of a VEP and by the dorsal plate with an accentuated V-shaped notch ( Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 14d–e) (VEP present; dorsal epigynal plate not notched in S. lupulus , S. oxossi and S. archangelus – Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: figs 10f–g, 11c–d, 12d–e).
