The key which included S. humilis was published by Withers (1987) and with small correction can be used from this webpage: https://www.onlin...?key_no=19. Now, pls mark this specimen as S. humilis... dr. A. J. Woznica, Institute of Environmental Biology, Wroclaw University of Environmental & Life Sciences

I am not sure about the arista (long vs. short plumose), so I am posting another photo: . Ignoring that, I am reaching either S. affinis or S. flavifrons.
