Remarks. The male from Tagbo River, downstream is intermediate between the two species. Palp and venter are as described for S. mutatus . The dorsum, however, lacks the ornamentation of mutatus and is similar to biscutatus . A hybrid form?
Distribution. South Afrika (K.O. Viets 1981), Ghana (this study).
