Pygidium small, quadrate, the sides sliglitly dilated, the 

 posterior margin slightly sinuate, the angles pointed. 



Forceps with the branches straight, red at the base itself,

Fafn'a. Ecuador, camp above Chimbo, 3000', VIII. '97. 



This species is closely allied to S. nigrina, Stal, but it may 

 be distinguished at once by the much smaller pygidium and 

 shorter forceps, which are armed with only one tooth on each 

 branch inside, and not with two, as in S. nigrina.
