However, <i>S. chaodongzhui</i> differs from <i>S. segmentatus</i>, sp. nov. by having the frons without punctures (with small punctures in <i>S. segmentatus</i>, sp. nov.), POL 1.7x as long as OOL and OOL 1.8–2.0x as long as diameter of lateral ocelli (POL 1.4x as long as OOL and OOL 2.3x as long as diameter of lateral ocelli in <i>S. segmentatus</i>, sp. nov.), the mesoscutum with weak interrupted transversal carinae (coriaceous to imbricate, without carinae, in <i>S. segmentatus</i>, sp. nov.) and face reddish brown, except two blackish brown lateral spots on lower face (face yellow in <i>S. segmentatus</i>, sp. nov.).

However, this record might be <i>Saphonecrus chaodongzhui</i>, a species that is closely related to <i>S. connatus</i>, according to Melika et al. (2004) and Schwéger et al. (2015b). The original description of <i>S. chaodongzhui</i> and the drawings provided in Melika et al. (2004: 330, 331) show some differences with respect to the pictures of one of its paratypes given in Schwéger et al. (2015b: 64, 65). So, the malar space is 0.6x as long as height of eye (not 0.65–0.7 as mentioned in the original description), the POL is 1.7x as long as OOL (POL is not nearly equal to OOL), the pedicel is 1.3x as long as wide (not 1.5) and F1 is 1.6x as long as F2 (not 1.8).</p>
