The Virasoro algebra \(Vir\) was generalized to the higher-rank Virasoro algebras \(Vir[M,s]\) and the higher-rank super-Virasoro algebras \(SVir[M,s]\) in [\textit{J.Patera} and \textit{H. Zassenhaus}, Commun. Math. Phys. 136, 1-14 (1991; Zbl 0733.17013)] and [\textit{Y. Su}, J. Math. Phys. 35, 2013-2023 (1994; Zbl 0802.17023)]. The modules over \(SVir[M,s]\) of intermediate series (i.e., modules whose weight spaces of ''even'' or ''odd'' parts are of dimensions \(<2\)) are determined in [\textit{Y. Su} and \textit{K. Zhao}, Generalized Virasoro and super-Virasoro algebras and modules of intermediate series, Preprint]. In the article under review, the author asserts that a uniformly bounded simple \(SVir[M,s]\)-module (i.e., the dimensions of its weight spaces are uniformly bounded) is a module of the intermediate series. The author introduces the notion of a ''generalized highest weight module'' for \(SVir[M,s]\) and shows that a weight \(SVir[M,s]\)-module is either a module of intermediate series or a generalized highest weight module.
