Remarks. Although this new species is similar to its congeners in external appearance and to S. pectinatus and S. striatus in markings it differs from these species in various aspects of the male genitalia (see generic Diagnosis above).

Etymology. The specific epithet is the Latin adjective aurantiacus, -a, -um (= orange), referring to the overall orange dorsum in this species.
