The female terminalia of <i>S.</i> (<i>Ph.</i>) <i>noturgidus</i> are nearly identical to those of <i>S.</i> (<i>Ph.</i>) <i>heteropus</i>, but <i>S.</i> (<i>Ph.</i>) <i>noturgidus</i> differs externally by the orange epicephalon and paracephalon, and the relatively uniform dark brown or black legs.</p><p><b>Etymology</b></p><p>This species was named by adding a prefix to the superficially similar <i>S.</i> (<i>Phaeopterina</i>) <i>turgidus</i> sp. nov.</p><p><b>Type material examined</b></p><p><b>Holotype</b></p><p>COLOMBIA • 1 ♀; Amazonas, PNN Amacayacu Matamata; 3°23′ S, 70°06′ W; 150 m a.s.l.; 17 Sep.–1 Oct. 2001; D.

Palpus orange, pale microtrichose and black setulose, narrow (length 4.5 × height), apex pointed. Clypeus orange, width ~2.5× height, silvery microtrichose on entire surface. Frontal vitta dull, orange, microtrichose. Epicephalon orange and/or light brown, shiny, bare, wide (width ⅔ or more of upper frontal vittal width at inner verticals), clearly delineated from upper frontal vitta. Anterior lower fronto-orbital seta and postocellar seta absent, all other head chaetotaxy well-developed.</p><p>THORAX. Scutum black-brown with a wide, silvery blue median sheen. Female cervical sclerite relatively flat. Postpronotal lobe black-brown, some setulae on outer lateral margin. Notopleuron black-brown with indistinct pale microtrichosity surrounding anterior notopleural seta and on ventral margin. Thorax black-brown with blue sheen, entirely silvery microtrichose. Legs dark brown, mid and hind femur light brown basally, gradually fading to dark brown apically. Fore and hind tarsomere 1 dark brown with ventral golden fringe. Wing entirely brown infuscate.</p><p>FEMALE ABDOMEN. T1 with fine, long, white setae. Pleuron pale grey, dorsal half of P2 dark brown, dorsal half of P3–5 dark grey (Fig. 64C). T1+2 ~2.0× length of T3; posterior margin of T2 ~1.3× as wide as T1. Oviscape dark brown, black setulose, white microtrichose on anterior ⅓, ~2.5× length of T6. Spermathecal complex with two paired ducts arising separately from bursa copulatrix, each duct narrow, parallel-sided with apical bulb-like swelling. Paired spermathecal stems elongate, slightly sinuate, longer than spermathecae. Paired spermathecae elongate, nearly almond-shaped; one pair with flat, invaginated apices, the other pair with pointed projections arising from apical invaginations. Both spermathecal ducts and all four spermathecae similar in size and shape.</p><p>MALE ABDOMEN. Not observed.</p><p><b>Distribution</b></p><p>Colombia.</p>
