Imaco.—Male. Upperside. Both wings differ from those of S. Nowrmahal in the 
ground-colour being paler and of a much brighter tint of chestnut-red. On the fore- 
wing the ochreous outer fascia is narrower and the dark brown margin broader. On 
the hindwing the ochreous outer fascia is much broader, with submarginal blackish 
points and broad marginal lunules. Underside. Both wings of a lighter colour ; 
the transverse subbasal and discal black line less intensely edged with olivescent 
silvery-grey scales; the submarginal and marginal line more sinuous and nearer 
together; the ocelli are similar. 
Female. Upperside also much paler, the ochreous fascia, the submarginal points 
and marginal lunules, as in the male; the apical white spot is larger, and there 
is a minute spot above it and also one below it. Underside as in the male, but 
darker coloured, the markings all more intensely defined.
