– S. zhongdianensis Wang and Cui, 1992

* There is a report by Ehara, 2004 on S. malayanus females with 9 tactile plus 3 and 4 sensory setae on tibia of leg I. In S. kreiteri the tibia of leg I of female has 9 tactile plus 3 sensory setae.

Due to insufficient data provided in their descriptions the following species could not be affiliated to any of the above groups:

– S. setariae Meyer, 1987 — only known from the male.

– S. emeiensis Wang, 1983 female has nine tactile and two sensory setae on tibia of leg I; otherwise it would fit into group 17.

– S. tuberculatus (Ugarov and Nikolski, 1937) — is the only species where the dorsal setae are set on tubercles.

– S. jachontovi Reck, 1953 belongs to one of the groups in between 14 and 17; no information on the number of tibial setae is given in its description.

– The descriptions of S. glabrisetus Ugarov and Nikolski, 1937 and S. oudemansi Reck, 1948 were not seen.
