Taxonomic notes. Described originally as a species of Scolioplanes, it was not recorded further, but only cited under either Scolioplanes or Linotaenia . Its validity was never questioned, but it was ignored by Attems (1929). It is assigned here to Strigamia for the first time (new combination), because it shares all major diagnostic features of this genus (see above under “Notes on synonymies”). However, the incompleteness of the original description does not allow an evaluation of its actual relationship to other species, including S. acuminata, S. munda, S. chionophila, S. japonica, S. hirsutipes and S. sacolinensis, none of which however has ever been recorded from near the type locality of S. sulcata .

Distribution: known from a single locality in the eastern coastal region of Russia.
