Dohrn says he has seen no great amount of variation in this species, 

 although now so widely spread ; I have, however, two males from S. 

 Carolina in which the forceps entirely resemble those of the females, 

 instead of being strongly bent inward in the middle and notice- 

 ably asymmetrical ; in some specimens, too, the 13th or 14th anten- 

 nal joints are bicolored, while in others they are similar to the rest; 

 in some specimens again the posterior edge of the terminal dorsal 

 segment of the abdomen is perfectly smooth, while in others it is 

 puckered, as it were, being marked with short sinuous longitudinal 

 striations; in one specimen from Nicaragua it is almost rugose.
