There are two apparently closely allied species of this genus, both of which occur 
throughout our region; but whereas S. blomfildia is also found in Western South 
America as far as Paraguay, S. karwinskii doesnot extend its range beyond Colombia. 
These two species are very much alike in all the details of the coloration of their 
wings; but besides a difference in the shape of the anal angle of the secondaries, the 
secondary male sexual organs are so distinct that there can be no doubt as to the 
validity of the two species. 
In S. dlomsildia the subcostal emits two branches before end of the cell, and the third 
branch diverges at once on leaving the subcostal. The upper discocellular is short and 
transverse, the second rounded into the lower radial; an atrophied lower discocellular 
crosses the cell transversely to a point a little beyond the origin of the second median 
branch. A similar nervule closes the cell of the secondaries. The front legs of the 
male have a stout coxa=% femur+trochanter; tibia=femur; tarsus single-jointed, 
= 2 tibia; the front legs of S. karwinskit have two tarsal joints; terminal joint of the 
palpi long and rather slender, =} the middle joint, which is rather swollen towards the 
distal end. The antenne have 52 joints, and terminate in a moderate club. The 
tegumen has a strong central spine, which terminates rather abruptly in a decurved 
point; the harpagones are simple lobes, terminating in a blunt point. In S. karwinskit 
the tegumen has two recurved hooks dependent from its edges, but these do not 
approach one another in the middle line; the harpagones have a long, slightly incurved 
spine arising about the middle of the dorsal edge, inside of which is another short 
spine.
