This species resembles S. perpunctatus Giordani Soika, 1994 from Malaysia by T2 without an apical lamella (Fig. 22), dorsal surface of propodeum not protruding upward so as to form two teeth behind metanotum, and propodeum with large dense punctures dorsally, interspaces between punctures carinate (Fig. 21).
