diagnosis
Diagnosis. Males of S. bifida sp. nov. can be recognized by a bifid ventral process on the RTA (Figs 20 – 23). Females resemble those of S. decidua sp. nov. in having the similar shape of anterior bursae but can be distinguished by the lack of a median septum on the epigynal atrium (Figs 14 vs. 25).
etymology
Etymology. The specific epithet is an adjective derived from Latin (bifidus, - a, - um), referring to the shape of a ventral process on the RTA of the male palp.
