Three c?c?, one ?, from Mailn, British New Guinea, July 1895 (Anthony). 



Closely related to S. pyrrhata Wlk., bnt witliout the bright red tinge, and the 

 oblii[ue line different. In the fresher and smoother examples the dark lines and 

 strignlae are mnch less evident, being more or less hidden by the dense brown scales ; 

 as these wear off, the dark markings stand out and give the insect a much more 

 mottled ajiijearance. The 2 is distinctly different from the i 6 .

 obscure sinnous rows of sjiots between the veins, many of tliem (perhaps all when 

 the insect is freshly emerged) containing white scales ; costa and basal area also 

 flecked with white scales ; the discocellnlar spot more conspicuonsly white ; a patch

Expanse of wings : 32 mm.
