In addition to the above characters, it may be noticed, that the bar 
beyond the middle of the wings is slender, grey, outwardly edged with 
a dusky line, and inwardly with purplish brown ; outside the bar is a 
series of large, triangular, lilac-white patches united together, and the 
disc of the wings, especially towards the base, is much more irrorated 
with lilac-pink.

The antennz are fulvous and short ; the pectinations forming an 
elongate ovate outline, pointed at the tip, with only thirty-eight 
rays on each side, four being emitted from each joint. The rays lie 
flat, and several of the terminal joints are destitute of rays. The 
female antennze are 24-jointed, the pectinations forming a much nar- 
rower oval outline than in the male; the pectinations of the basal 
part being short, each joint emitting four rays, of which the apical 
pair is not above half the length of the basal ones. 
This species is well-figured in Mr. Angas’s plate of Lepidoptera of 
the Zoolu country, fig. 14.

This species belongs to the subgenus Actias of Leach, and is allied 
to S. Selene of India, S. Luna of North America, S. Isis* of Java, 
S. Cometes of Madagascar, described by M. Boisduval in his ‘ Fauna 
of Madagascar,’ (apparently identical with the species captured at 
Nosse Bé, on the east side of Madagascar, by M. Mittre, exhibited 
by M. Guérin at the Entomological Society of France (see Annales 
* This very rare species, of which M. Boisduval was acquainted with only a 
single specimen in the collection of M. Robyns of Brussels, will require a new 
specific name to distinguish it from the S, Jsis of this monograph.
