S. collecta ab. obscuripennis Strand and S. collecta ab. simpla Strand, 1911 were described as aberrations of collecta and have not been used as available names. They probably represent undescribed species of the collecta group and are included under collecta for convenience. Naming of the taxa must await a thorough study of the group)
