Additional details (scale isn't uniform). I understand that the presence of dm seta (red arrow) rules out S. helicivora, but maybe there's more possible candidates...

To solve a blast from the past: the two species were synonymized in 1979 (!) by Disney in a paper in Entomologist's Monthly Magazine. The feature of those setae proved to be intraspecific variation.
