This species or form has a broad white median band running from before 



the middle of the costa of the forewing to near the middle of the inner margin of the 



hindwing. It is otherwise ver}' near crepuscularis, with which Sir George Hampson 



makes it synonymous.

S. Palpi erect, divergent ; antennae simple; the forelegs with the femur very 

 hairy ; tibiae provided with a very long, dense, wide-spreading fascicle of hair almost 

 reaching to the extremity of the tarsi and concealing tbem ; front and head pale 

 brown ; eyes black ; patagia and upperside of thorax pale wood brown ; upperside of 

 abdomen pale brown, underside lighter in colour; the legs wood brown. The 

 primaries on the upperside are wood brown, traversed by a dark median band, with a 

 dark brown shade on the limbal area ; a dark brown spot is found on the costa a little 

 before the base; a dark brown spot, made up of zigzag lines blending with each 

 other, is found near the base, just below the cell, between the median and submediau 

 nervules ; beyond the brown shade which crosses the middle of the wing, and located 

 on the submedian vein, is a dark brown or black spot, irregular in shape ; a multitude 

 of minute waved lines and dots appear upon the lighter surface of the wing ; a 

 crenulated dark brown line define* the outer margin ; the cilia are wood brown. The 

 secondaries on the upperside have the anterior margin immaculate and pale fuscous ; 

 the inner half of the wing is marked with spots and strigae, a prominent dark brown 

 spot being located between the second and third median nervules ; the outer margin 

 of this wing is, like the primaries, defined by a crenulated dark brown Hue; the 

 fringes are as on the primaries. On the underside both wings are uniformly pale 

 fuscous, with only a slight trace of a median transverse band. 



Expanse : 42 mm. 



Sir George Hampson informs me that this interesting insect should constitute 

 the type of a new subgenus under Folydesma, but I leave the honour of erecting the 

 subgenus to others, as the weather is too hot to bother with it just now.
