Bhamo, October, 1888. In coll. Swinhoe. 



Allied to S. frat&nia, Moore ; can be easily distin- 

 guished by the absence of the brown dot in the centre 

 of the fore wing below the median vein, and by the 

 brown irroration of that wing.

 Palpi brown ; ends of second joint grey. Antennae, head, body, 

 and fore wings greyish fawn-colour. Fore wings irrorated with 

 minute black atoms ; ante-medial, medial, post-medial, and discal 

 sinuous, fine brown erect lines across the wing; the first has a 

 black spot within the cell on its outer side, the second and foiu'th 

 have each a pale brown patch in their centres, the third has a row 

 of black spots adjoining on its outer side, the fourth is more sinuous 

 than the rest, and is almost submarginal ; orbicular and reniform 

 indicated by pale minute spots ; a marginal row of black points ;

 under a glass, is found to be finely crossed by numerous straight 

 brown lines very close together ; fringe interlined, and with a pale 

 pinkish basal line ; a brown spot on the costa one-third fi'om apex ; 

 three subapical costal pale points and all the veins more or less
