The S. nzame View in CoL species-group

Diagnosis. The male genital capsule structure of the species-group is similar to the S. cretata species-group but differs in the smaller uncus, the proximally broader valvae anteriorly connected by a membranous commissure, and the more heavily sclerotised ventral costal lobe bearing robust spike-like processes. The cucullus is elongate and bilobate, reminiscent of those of S. rarita and S. megista . The female genitalia of the nzame species-group can be distinguished from those of the S. cretata species-group by the more heavily sclerotised postvaginal area with markedly shorter lateral subostial lobes, and the distally helicoid appendix bursae.
