Mandibular tooth well-developed. Dental plates small and transverse; teeth ten, small, 

 obtuse, the three innermost on each side coalescing. Posterior pair of legs moderate ; 

 basilar joint longer than in S. subspinipes, and subconvex on the upper surface : external 

 margin rounded ; internal with two acute black spines, the angular one well-developed 

 and subacute, or slightly bifid ; internal and inferior surfaces smooth, each with two 

 spines in a longitudinal series. Second joint smooth, rounded and elongate. Anal 

 scale triangular elongate, with the posterior margin narrowed, slightly rounded, and 

 impressed with a longitudinal sulcus.

This is a very beautiful species, perfectly distinct in every respect of form, 

 size, and shape of the head, from S. subspinipes and its affinities, but precisely 

 similar as reg;ards the shape and armature of the posterior pair of legs, pre- 

 anal scale, and lateral anal appendages. The upper surface of the basilar 

 joint of the posterior legs is flattened, subconvex, with two small spines on 

 the superior internal margin, and one on the internal surface.
