Comments.

This species is very similar to the type species, S. spinicollis from Indonesia, with the main differences being in body coloration and the shape of pubescent patches on the pronotum. In S. rufomaculatus, the body color is darker, and the premedian pubescent patches on both sides of the pronotum are narrow, transverse, and uniformly ochre-colored, while in the type species, the body color is lighter, and the premedian pubescent patches on the pronotum are nonuniform in color, featuring a distinct, circular ochre spot on the inner side with noticeably lighter pubescence on the outer side.

Previously, S. rufomaculatus was known only from Laos. However, based on our own records presented in this study (Fig. 2 d, e), data and images provided by Xavier Gouverneur (Fig. 2 c, f), and the Cerambycoidea Forum (Vitali 2024), the range of this species has been extended to Guangxi and Yunnan in China, Cao Bang in Vietnam, Phrae in Thailand, and Kerala in India.
