Tibial spination in 10 females is the same as S. calif or nicus with the 
following exceptions in the case of ventral spines on leg II : six females 
with 1-2-2 spines, three females with 1-2-2 spines on one leg and 1-1-2

AME, in three females the clypeus height is subequal to the diameter 
of the AME. In the two males clypeus height is subequal to the 
diameter of the AME.
