Comments
S. bradys was reported in yam (Dioscorea batatas) fields of Geyonguk province in 1998 (Park et al.) but this was not supported with morphometric data or a description of the species. S. bradys was not found in 160 soild samples taken during a survey of major yam-producing regions of Geyongbuk province in 2006 (Park and Khan, 2007). Therefore, the earlier records is now considered invalid.
