Remarks. These specimens exhibit characters congruent with the redescription given by LÖBL & LESCHEN (2010). Notable are the widely interrupted basal striae of the elytra, the mesoventrite with distinct mesal ridge, the lateral parts of the metaventrite lacking coarser punctures, and the lateral parts of ventrite I, each bearing a subbasal patch of distinct punctures, in combination with the uniformly rufous, about 1.9 mm long body. The species is very similar to S. arcuatum Champion, 1927 and S. pulex Heller, 1917.
