The male of this species is distinguished by the lonp; aedeagal 

 parameres and the point on the ventral margin of the ninth tergum. 

 It can be distinguished from S. cochisei by the shape of the ninth 

 tergum and the longer antennae. The female was heretofore unknown 

 and the description follows.

 veloped, palpi black-brown, half the length of oral cavity; no silvery 

 pile along oral opening. First antennal segment black-brown, short;
