P a r a t y p e s: 3 ♀♀, Irian Jaya, Jayawijaya, Duirema , 1900–2100 m, 9.–11.IX.1992, leg. A. RIEDEL (2 exx. SMNS, 1 ex. CRO) .
Description
Body length ca. 5 mm. Proportions of holotype: length of head: 78; breadth of head: 75; diameter of eye: 27; length of antenna: 148; length of pronotum: 76; breadth of pronotum: 63; length of elytron: 100; breadth of elytra: 85; metatibia: 74; metatarsus: 46.
Head and pronotum black, elytra brown, abdomen fuscous, the apex of 7 th sternite and 8 th and 9 th sternites brown; palpi and antennae dark reddish brown, legs darker brown. Head slightly transverse, the sides retracted but with well marked postero-lateral angles; puncturation of head not particularly close, the punctures elongate, the interstices coalescing in parts into longitudinal rugae; head covered in evident recumbent pale pubescence. Labrum large, tridentate, the outer teeth not much larger then median tooth. Pronotum elongate, the punctures slightly smaller than those of head and round; pronotum with fine pale pubescence comparable to that of head. Elytra elongate, covered in numerous large foveate punctures not aligned serially; disc of elytra devoid of granulation, granules only evident near anterior and posterior borders; elytra clothed in fine pale recumbent pubescence comparable to that of head and pronotum.
Male: 8 th sternite with scarcely discernible broad shallow emargination. Aedoeagus see Fig. 12 View Figs .
Differential diagnosis
This species is similar to S. baliemensis n. sp. in its obsolescent elytral granules, but is a larger species with a different aedoeagus.
