looks like S. mixtura, the male seems not yet known .... the HT female is in Berger (pl 200, fig. 9). decsribed from North East Congo (Sassa)

Yes, I have a scanned copy of the revision. Libert says the species was only known thanks to 2 female specimens. Do you know if that is still the case?

Also a note that I see the type locality is "Region de Sassa". Sukadi, where these 2 were collected, is the traditional name of the village, while the mission station and nearby river are named "Assa".
