This species greatly resembles S. infans, but differs by the absence 
of a basal cephalic carina, the smooth intervals of the punctures in

swollen ultimate abdominal segment; the shape of the valves of the 
penis is not the same as that of S. infans.

Somewhat light testaceous-red, moderately shining and with the
