Remarks: This species resembles S. lewisi Cameron   HNS from Japan, Korea, China and Burma. S. solifontis Brown   HNS , and S. liukueiensis Terayama & Kubota   HNS from Taiwan in general appearance. However, it is distinguished from the latter 3 by the dorsum of promesonotum with 2 pairs of long flagellate hairs (Fig. 10). This is the 1st record of this species from Taiwan and is the northern limit in distribution of this species. This species is widely distributed from Australia through Ocea- nia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, to South Asia.
