Diagnosis. Males of S. histrio (Fig. 97) are similar to those of S. carinata (Fig. 85) by the developed, granular ITA, but can be recognized by the poorly developed paraembolic projection (Fig. 96). Females of this species (Fig. 159) are similar to those of S. dentichelis (Fig. 111) by the general color pattern, but can be recognized by the smooth lateral fields of the epigynal plate (Fig. 160) (excavated in S. dentichelis, Fig. 115).
Description. Male (MPEG 15966). Total length: 4.31. Carapace dark brown, 2.02 long, 0.98 wide, 0.63 high (Fig. 156). Ocular quadrangle lighter, with two transverse dark brown stripes, 0.87 long, bordered by a posterior line of white scales. Anterior eye row 0.98 wide and posterior 0.88 wide. Palp light brown (Figs 157‒158); RTA elongated, RvTA short and rounded, ITA developed and granulated; paraembolic projection rectangular with striae, acute tip of DEA seen on the retrolateral side; embolus stout and short, oblique. Legs 1432, I dark brown, II‒IV yellow. Length of femur: I 1.82, II 1.02, III 0.98, IV 1.32; patella + tibia: I 2.44, II 1.28, III 1.18, IV 1.61; metatarsus + tarsus: I 1.61, II 1.01, III 1.06, IV 1.48.
