Diagnosis. Males of S. carinata (Figs 31, 40) are similar to those of S. abaporu (Figs 30, 39) by the developed paraembolic projection, but can be recognized by the distance between this and the embolus, which in S. carinata is only as wide as the width of the embolus. Females can be recognized by the transversely positioned spermathecae (Fig. 134).
