In  S. lewisi, parameres are about 1/3 as long as penis guide, and penis guide is approximately parallel sided for basal 2/ 3 inventral view, then tapering towards blunt apex (Figs 61f–g).   Description.TL: 1.36–1.58 mm, TW: 0.99–1.18 mm, TH: 0.52–0.67 mm. Body oval, moderately convex, surfaces covered with short pubescence ( Figs 60a–c). Body uniformly black, except antennae, maxillary palpi and legs yellow to yellowish brown. Interocular distance slightly closer than eye width in frontal view. Abdominal postcoxal lines incomplete, recurved toward the base of ventrite ( Fig. 60d). Male genitalia: Penis slender, penis capsule with long inner arm but without outer one, apex of penis pointed ( Fig. 60e). Penis guide approximately parallel sided in lateral view; parameres about 1/4 as long as penis guide, with a tuft of long setae at apex; penis guide approximately parallel sided for basal 1/ 3 inventral view, then slightly narrowing to blunt apex (Figs 60f–g). Female genitalia: Coxites shortened; styli absent; spermatheca worm-like, with basal ramus and nodulus.   Type material.   Holotype: China: Xizang: ♂, Shangchayu Town– Xiachayu Town, Chayu County,  1650 m,  27.IX.2011, Huo LZleg ( SCAU).   Paratypes( SCAU): Xizang: 3♂ 8♀, Same data as holotype;  1♀, Cibagou National Nature Reserve,  1615 m,  26.IX.2011, Huo LZleg.   Distribution. China( Xizang).   Etymology.The specific epithet  applanatusderives from the Latin word “applanatus” and refers to the applanate penis guide. 3965996788 2011-09-27 SCAU Huo LZ China Chayu County 1650 Xiachayu Town 88 89 1 1 Xizang holotype 3965996434 [543,1229,186,213] 2011-09-27 SCAU Huo LZ China Chayu County 1650 Xiachayu Town 88 89 11 8 3 Xizang paratype 3965996587 2011-09-26 Huo LZ China 1615 Cibagou National Nature Reserve 88 89 1 1 Xizang paratype
