 discal mark edged with blackish. 



Expanse 52 millim. 



Eight male specimens and four females from Ta-cliien-lu ; 

 three male examples and one female from Ni-tou. July 

 and August. 



In one male from Ta-chien-lu, three of tlie transverse 

 lines, the marginal dots, and the reniform stigma arc 

 marked wi^h white, thus giving the specimen some resem- 

 blance to S. distinda, from which it can easily be separated 

 by the under surface characters. I propc^se the name a/bi~ 

 2')iijnct((ta, for tliis form.
