Remarks: In having the combination of a pointed rostrum, spindle-form sensilli and prolamella absent S. acutirostrum sp. n. is similar to S. sphaeroides Hammer, 1973 from Polynesia and the Galapagos Islands (Hammer 1973). It differs from the latter in the relative length of interlamellar and lamellar setae (in longer than le in S. acutirostrum ; in not longer than le in S. sphaeroides ), the shape of the sensilli (head well developed, barbed and with short apical part in S. acutirostrum ; head weakly developed, smooth and with long apical part in S. sphaeroides ) and the presence of only notogastral setae p 1 (p 1, h 1 – h 3 present in S. sphaeroides ). In having the combination of a pointed rostrum and spindle-form sensilli, S. acutirostrum sp. n. is similar to S. rostrodentatus Hammer, 1977 from Pakistan (Hammer 1977), but differs from the latter by having smaller body (614–697 vs 980 in S. rostrodentatus ) and in the absence of a prolamella (present in S. rostrodentatus ).
