Comments

Based on photos of the holotype of the species (SWFC No. A1037), which has semi-opened mandibles, its dentition likely consists of alternating short triangular and long spiniform teeth, hence an indication that it is likely a member of the elegantula -complex in the S. leptothrix -group. Nonetheless, a direct verification on the specimens with fully-opened mandibles is still recommended.

Specimens CASENT0715042 , CASENT0715043 , CASENT0715044 , CASENT0715045 from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan that were previously reported as S. ailaoshana on AntWeb are now re-identified as S. doydeei sp. nov. instead.
