(Figs 43 A–E, 44A–D, 45A–B) in having the male palps with embolic apophysis medially bent, dRTA finger-shaped and female vulva with spermathecae bulging laterally, but can be separated by: 1. Male palp with embolic tip as long as embolic apophysis (distinctly shorter in S. ovata sp. nov.); 2. Female epigyne with lobal septum almost rectanglar (trapeziform in S. ovata sp. nov.).
