Diagnosis

Males of S. chalybeius resemble those of S. naja sp. nov. by the bifid VL, with dVL protruding and thick modified hairs present only in vVL, dVL glabrous, differing by the smaller than the embolus, comma-shaped SePP, with a pointed tip (Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 16a) (SePP larger, as long as the embolus, finger-shaped, tip blunt in S. naja – Fig. 42B). Females resemble those of S. mandrillus sp. nov. by the anterior margin of the CO delimited by a protruding lip (Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 16d), differing by the lip being divided into two humps (Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 16d) (lip entire in S. mandrillus – Figs 16D, 17C).
