Material examined: MHNG; 1 male; MALUK: Aru Isl. , Wokam, 5 km E Mt. Sungai, 22.8.1981, D. Agosti .

Remarks: This specimen possesses aedeagal characters similar to those of S. notata Löbl, 2017 , from Papua New Guinea, and S. lombokensis Löbl, 2015 . It differs from S. notata quite conspicuously by the uniformly light brown elytra, and from S. lombokensis by the parameres nearly evenly broad in lateral view and the ventrally bent tip of the median lobe. More material is needed to assess the variability of these characters.

Habitat: Secondary/primary forest on limestone, sea level, rather dry leaf litter; understory Pandanus palms.

Distribution: Indonesia: Moluccas, Aru Island.
