Synonymy "My original description was not clear and the new Australian specimens showed that S. johnstonei and S. uniramus are not distinct species, for the papilla at the ventral edge of the thoracic neuropodia may be interpreted either as a second foot-papilla or as a stomach-papilla, the abdominal neuropodia change from indistinctly biramous to uniramous, and the flail-setae are not always distinct from crenulate capillaries" (Day, 1977: 232). [details]
