[June 
usual in a compact group ; outlines clear and distinct ; posterior row 
occupies about three-fifths of width of carapace at that level and is 
slightly procurved, viewed from above. Ratio of eyes ALE : PME : 
PLE = 7 : 6 : 5.5. ALE separated from one another by nearly 
two-sevenths of their diameter (Fig. 42) ; from PLE by a line and 
from PME by about one-third of their diameter. PME contiguous 
to one another and to PLE. Clypeus somewhat porrect and with 
height equal to slightly more than the diameter of ALE. Chelicerae, 
maxillae and lip all apparently typical of males of the genus with 
minor variations. Stenum: strongly convex; longer than wide in 
ratio of 21 : 19; plainly lobed along margins with bounding grooves 
well developed ; posterior end not extended between fourth coxae 
which are separated by about 1.5 times their width; third coxae 
globose, all others somewhat elongated with first somewhat the long- 
est. Legs: 4123 in order of length; tibial indices of first and fourth 
legs 9 ; no true spines on legs. Palp : general features typical of 
males of the genus as seen in this study; distinctive features shown 
in Figures 43-45 ; both palps fully developed. Abdomen : typical of 
males of the genus in general ; scuta cover somewhat less of the 
abdominal surface than in S. kalunda sp. nov. ; sclerite associated 
with the spinnerets as usual ; genital area also as usual in males of 
the genus. Color in alcohol: carapace, sternum, legs, mouth parts 
except palpal tarsus and abdominal scuta all a rich, bright orange 
with some variations; palpal tarsus yellowish; abdominal areas not 
covered by scuta are white. 
Female paratype. Total length 1.95 mm. Carapace 0.77 mm 
long; 0.58 mm wide; about 0.26 mm tall; slightly raised just behind 
PME and then almost level along middorsal region to beginning of 
posterior declivity; otherwise as in male. Eyes essentially as in male 
with minor variations. Height of porrect clypeus about 1.3 times 
the diameter of ALE. Chelicerae, maxillae and lip all typical of 
females of the genus without apparent modifications. Sternum : es- 
sentially as in male with marginal lobes and grooves as in that sex; 
fourth coxae separated by nearly twice their width. Palp as usual in 
females of the genus; tarsus essentially as in Figure 46. Legs essen- 
tially as in male. Abdomen: in general typical of females of the 
genus; dorsal scutum lacking; ventral scutum covering ventrolateral 
sides; sclerite partially surrounding spinnerets as in male; epigynal 
area obscurely distinctive (Fig. 47). Color in alcohol: as in male 
except for the clear white dorsal, abdominal region where scutum 
is lacking; with a sparse covering of black hair.
