Together with S. melamitis Reemer, sp. nov. and S. mellimitis Reemer, sp. nov., this species combines a black face with antennae in which the postpedicel has a dark tip. This species differs from S. melamitis Reemer, sp. nov. by colouration of the tarsi (brown with apical tarsomere yellow, instead of entirely black) (Fig. 19). The male differs from S. melamitis Reemer, sp. nov. in the presence of a median projection on the ventral lobe of the surstylus (Fig. 144). The female differs from S. melamitis Reemer, sp. nov. in the brown scutellum (yellow in S. melamitis Reemer, sp. nov.). From S. mellimitis Reemer, sp. nov. this species differs in the presence of three separate dull maculae on tergite 3 (Figs 15, 16), and the brown lateral margins of the tergites (Figs 82–84). Male genitalia as in Fig. 144. Distribution. This species is only known from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
