This insect is figured by Druce as a var. of Stictoptera 
(Steira) variabilis, Moore, in P. Z. 8. 1888, p. 223, pl. xiii. 
fig. 4; his figure 3 represents S. cucullioides, Guen. The 
different species of the genus Stéctoptera, with the exception 
of grisea, Moore, do not appear to be variable. Considerable 
confusion appears to exist with reference to this genus; each 
species has its own characteristic line-markings whatever 
shade the colour of the insect may be. SS. grisea, Moore,= 
ferrifera, Walker,=var. plagifera, Walker. SS. variabilis, 
Moore, S. cucullioides, Guen., S. subobliqua, Walker, S. tra- 
jictens, Walker, S. signifera, Walker, and S. témesta, mihi, 
are all good and constant species, the shades of colour which 
are not characteristic varymg much in the sexes. I have 
examined long series of these different species in my museum 
aud in the Oxford University Museum collected by Wallace.
