Identification. This species was identified by keys, descriptions, and figures by Flint (1974). A member of the S. peruana Group within the Rhyacophylax subgenus, in Panama it is most closely related to S. (R.) talamanca Flint 1974 . The pointed triangular process on sternum IX and major differences in the aedeagus distinguish this species from S. talamanca .
