Distribution
Both described species are endemic to China.[2] S. caesum is found in Wuxi County, Chongqing;[1] S. puteus in Badong County, Hubei Province.[3]
Etymology
The genus name is a contraction of the Latin prefix sino- "Chinese" and the related genus Erigone, indicating that this genus is part of subfamily Erigoninae.[1]
The specific name of S. caesum is derived from Latin caesum "comma", indicating the anterior radical process of the embolic division of the palpal bulb.[1] S. puteus is from Latin "well, cistern" (according to the authors "pit"), because of lateral pits behind the posterior eye in males.[3]
