Note: Athough the solenomere in this species seems to correspond with the current diagnosis of Syrioiulus , the intermediate lobe connecting the proximal sections of mesomeral process and solenomere, and especially the complete absence of apical denticles on the promere are characters that set S. posthirsutus apart from all remaining congeners, hence the question mark.
