03CC2B77FF9EFF8F200DA342AF90F995.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The name (Lat., adj.: with fins) alludes to the distinctive shape of the tubercle on the male sternite VIII. Comparative notes and phylogenetics: In the keys in ASSING (2005 b, 2005 c), S. pinniger would key out at couplet 6 together with S. aculeatus ASSING, an endemic from the Boncuk Dağı in Muğla. Based on the similarly derived morphology of the aedeagus and the synapomorphic modifications of the male sternite VIII, both species very close relatives. They are reliably distinguished only by the shape of the process of the male sternite VIII (in S. aculeatus longer, more slender in ventral view, and more erect in lateral view) and by the shape of the aedeagus, especially the ventral process, which is more slender in lateral view and broader in ventral view in S. aculeatus.

03CC2B77FF9DFF8021B1A286AA69FCF5.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The name (Lat., adj.) refers to the series of long and stout spines in the internal sac of the aedeagus. Comparative notes: In the keys in ASSING (2005 b, 2005 c), S. fortespinosus would key out at couplets 3 - 3 b together with S. longispinosus ASSING, S. brevispinosus ASSING, S. pauli ASSING, and S. amanensis ASSING. From all these species, S. fortespinosus is readily separated by the completely different shape of the ventral process of the aedeagus and by the longer and darker spines in the internal sac.

Both species are reliably distinguished only by the male primary sexual characters, particularly the shape of the apex of the ventral process (see Figs 30 - 34, 42 - 45), as well as the number and colour of the spines in the internal sac (darker in S. fortespinosus than in S. sexspinosus).	en	Assing, Volker (2006): On the Turkish species of Sunius.
