Etymology. This species is named in honor of Cyril Courtial, who collected most type specimens.

Diagnosis. Males of S. cyrili (Fig. 90) resemble those of S. kunai (Fig. 98) by the ventral projection near the opening of the sperm duct, but can be recognized by the embolar projections (including DEA), which are more developed in this species. Females can be recognized by the small, juxtaposed spermathecae (Fig. 149).
