Material examined. 2♂ [ Figures 5-7 ], Colombia, Córdoba, Montería [N8.7229°, W75.8830°], [12m] 17 Aug 2018, on Averrhoa carambola L ., collected by hand, E. Bedoya – Roqueme coll . ( LEUC; ARE-URB-011 ). Type material deposited in the MCZ not examined .

Diagnosis. According to Galiano (1963) and Costa & Ruiz (2014) the male of S. dentichelis ( Figure 5 ) can be identified by the robust, slightly divergent chelicerae, oblique fang groove (see Galiano 1963, figs. 3-4), promargin of the fang groove with a large lobed process at the base, retromargin with a large truncated apex tooth, two smaller teeth on its inner edge, three more small retromarginal teeth very close together (see Galiano 1963, figs. 3-4), and their lack of an acute paraembolic projection on the pedipalp ( Figures 6- 7 ; see Costa & Ruiz 2014, figs. 92-93).

Measurements (mm; specimens from Colombia). Two males: TL= 2.91-2.93; CL= 1.47-1.51; CW= 1.27- 1.30; AL= 1.41-1.43; AERW = 1.16-18; PERW = 1.03-1.1; LOQ= 0.88-1.0; PMEP =0.31-0.33; eyes of the second row separated from the ALE by 0.25-0.27 mm and from the PLE by 0.27-0.29 mm.
