1 9 . — Fore wings falcate, though not (juite so distinct as in ti.praatumata; 

 the edges of both wings scalloped ; hind wings well angulated, but the angle 

 less produced than in /S. prceatomata. Body and wings, above and below, 

 dull chocolate-brown. Head, prothorax, antenna- and palpi ochreous. Fore 

 wings with three narrow, black, j)arallel, equidistant lines, without the usual 

 costal expansions ; the inner regularly curved, the ouier less so, ami bent out- 

 ward just below the costa, and again on the median venules. Beyond is a 

 clear fawn-colored, rather diffuse band, as broad as the abdomen. The usual 

 costo-apical oblong patch wanting. A marginal continuous black line. Fringe 

 on both wings concolorous with the wings. Hind wings marked as the ante- 

 rior pair, with but one dark line, the submarginal fawn-colored band presenlf, 

 and a faint discal dot. Beneath, chocolate, mottled with gray and black scales. 

 Discal dots black, distinct. The broad liiwn band common to both wings, 

 and nearly as distinct as above. MarginaPblack luiiulcs lar^e and di.stinct. 

 Fringe slightly darker than the wings. Legs concolorous with the l)ody. 



Length of body, 9, 0.48; of fore wing, 9, O.GO ; expanse of wings,

This species may be known by its general resemblance to S.praatomata, 

 though the wings arc less falcate and the hind pair less angulated. It differs, 

 however, in wanting the usual costal spots, and may be distinguished from 

 any other species of its size by the broad, clear, fawn-colored band common 

 to the upper and under sides of botii wings. It agrees well with Hubner's 

 figures, in the outline of the wings especially: l)ut the under side of the 

 wings of my si)ecimens is much darker, willi no yellowish linl, l>ut ])ure
