Morphological featuresS. kunmingensis sp. nov.S. oleaeType I VTDsPresent submarginally in a broad band around body, mediolaterally on posterior abdominal segmentsOnly present on submarginal area (Tang 1991; Henderson and Hodgson 2000)Type II VTDsPresent submarginally and mediolaterally on posterior abdominal segments, sparse and discrete between two spiracular pore bands and on the top of anterior headAbsentType III VTDsPresent on submarginal posterior abdominal segments, rarely present on outer submarginal area of headOnly present mediolaterally on posterior abdominal segments (Henderson and Hodgson 2000)Anal platesPosterior margin much longer than anterior marginLength of posterior margin almost equal to or slightly longer than anterior margin (Tang 1991; Hodgson 1994)Marginal setae38-44 setae between anterior stigmatic clefts on head; mostly fimbriate15-30 setae between anterior stigmatic clefts on head; mostly sharp (Henderson and Hodgson 2000)
