Remarks. The unique number NHMUK 014560468 is assigned to dissected mouthparts that were taken from specimen NHMUK 014560464. Shipp described S. poultoni from the Oxford Collection (now Oxford University Museum of Natural History), but the majority of his type material was deposited at The Walter Rothschild Private Museum, Tring, Hertfordshire, and was subsequently sold to René Oberthür, and is now in the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France.

Distribution. COLOMBIA (7): Valle del Cauca, no data. ECUADOR (1): no data. NO DATA (2).
