He described this specimen as follows: “Head and antennae yellow-brownish, as well as segment 1; 6 basal antennomeres glabrous; each tooth-plate with 6 very small teeth, trochanteroprefemur with normal, not very well-developed process. Paramedian sutures from tergite 3, lateral margination from tergite 5. Sternites 1–19 with deep but posteriorly shortened sutures. Coxopleural process without apical spines (vs typical <i>multidens</i>, which has 3 such spines); shape of coxopleural process as in the nominal form. Legs 20 without tarsal spur. Ultimate prefemur with 2 outer and 3–4 inner spines ventrally; disto-dorsal process of prefemur with 3 equal spines”. This description accords perfectly to the studied specimens (absence of apical spines of coxopleural process in Attems’ specimen is a certain abnormality being similar to our specimen 1) which are typical representatives of <i>S. subspinipes</i>. So for now we exclude <i>S. multidens</i> from the list of the New Guinean species.</p>
