  • Discussion

    Type. Santa Anna da Chapada, Estado Matto Grosso, Brazil, 28 June 1902, A. Robert 333.

    I have examined the holotype and paratype collections deposited in the British Museum (BM). The species is closely allied to S. hispida. Until additional collections are available to prove otherwise, I am retaining the species as distinct.
