( FIG. 24 )

Another species of the S. oceanica group. Similar to S. oceanica and S. papua Lyneborg & Barkemeyer, 2005 . These three species (in the female sex) can easily be recognized by the tomentose lateral vitta stretching from abdominal base to anterior corner of posterior fascia on tergum 2. The female of S. oceanica Macquart, 1855 is separated from the other two species by the frons as stated by Lyneborg & Barkemeyer (2005), and S. luteinervis and S. papua by the differences in the hind femur.
