Taxonomy
The genus was first identified by John F. Lawrence in 2001, who described a new species of marsh beetle native to inland Chile.[1] The genus was monotypic until 2011, when a new species native to New Zealand, S. neozealandicus, was described by Rafał Ruta, Stephen Ernest Thorpe and Hiroyuki Yoshitomi.[2] Undescribed members of this genus are also present in Australia.[3]
