REMARKS. The Francesco Vitali’s website (https:// www.cerambycoidea.com) has an image of the specimen (looks like it’s a male; the precise identification of the specimen sex is difficult, since the structure of the mesofemora is not clearly visible in the photograph) collected in Sri Lanka (Udugama, II.1976) .
Undoubtedly, this specimen belongs to an as yet undescribed species. It resembles S. ceylonica sp.n., but differs by the more robust body, the shorter elytra, the peculiar, recumbent, light setation of the pronotal disc (most similar to that of S. olemehli sp.n.), the shorter male antennae (if it’s really a male), noticeably not reaching the elytral apex, the less elongated some antennomeres, starting from the 5 th, and some other traits.
