Type in Col. Nurse's collection. 



This species exactly resembles S. zanthovlus in outline and is 

 very similar in the colour-scheme, but the unclouded alar apices 

 and the extremely remarkable conformation of the abdominal 

 spiracles, w hich are so large that at first I suspected some para- 

 sites had emerged from the perfect insect, though their regularity 

 precludes any such assumption, render it abundantly distinct.
