Diagnosis. S. lobatse closely resembles S. ilcuria sp. nov. and S. ansieae sp. nov. in the general shape of the central depression of the epigynum, but it differs from them both in the shape of the spermathecae ( Fig. 50 ) as well as the lateral lobes of the epigynum that are separated and the depression longer than wide ( Fig. 49 ).

Female. The female was described by Corronca (2001). Epigynum and spermathecae as in Figs. 49­50 .

Male. Unknown.
