Diagnosis. Vestiture of dark brown and white hairs. Color variable, usually reddish brown with dark brown to black areas of variable size on crown, face, mesonotum. Structure and male genitalia as in generic diagnosis.
Material examined. MYANMAR: 1♀, U. Burma, Lashio, 3000ft, 23–24.8.[19]14, Fletcher Coll. Pusa Coll. - 1915-164 ( BMNH) . THAILAND: 1♁, Chiang Mai Prov. S. Lanna, 07.iii.2018, Les Dy ( UASB) .
Remarks. Distant (1908) described this species based on unspecified number of specimens with the label data “ Burma; Karen Hills (Doherty)”. S. borneensis , S. notanda and S. manipurensis sp. nov. have the mesonotum extended to or beyond apex of clavus ( Figs 3E View FIGURES 3 , 7C, E View FIGURES 7 ) whereas in S. manorga it stops short of attaining the apex of clavus. The genitalia diagrams of the male specimen from Thailand associated with the S. notanda female type by Kramer (1964) agree well with the male genitalia of a specimen from Thailand imaged here, especially in the shape of the pygofer ventral process ( Fig. 24C View FIGURES 24 ) and aedeagus ( Fig. 24H View FIGURES 24 ). Tang & Zhang (2023) recorded this species from China and Indonesia in addition to Myanmar and Thailand. However, there is a significant difference in the shape of the ventral pygofer process drawn by them (compare Kramer 1964: Figs 1 View FIGURES 1 and 2 View FIGURES 2 with those of Tang & Zhang 2023: Figs 2E, H View FIGURES 2 ) suggesting that these specimens have probably been misassociated with the S. notanda female type and their identification including that made by the present authors and Kramer (1964) may be treated only as tentative until a male from the type locality ( Myanmar: Karen Hills) becomes available.
