 S. levipedella. Fore-wings dark brownish, with a cupreous 

 hue. The apical half of the wing is darker than the basal 

 half. About the middle of the costa is a short oblique white 

 streak, and another of the same hue midway between it and 

 the tip of the wing, perpendicular to the costa, and of nearly 

 triangular form. Beneath the first costal streak are two 

 short, longitudinal dashes; one on each side of the fold of the 

 wing, and two others of the same hue, parallel, and beneath 

 the second costal streak. Cilia with a violet iridescence. 

 Hind-wings dark brownish. 



Antennae dark brownish. Head whitish beneath. Labial 

 palpi white, third joint dark brownish exteriorly. Feet 

 annulated with white. 



When it alights after a flight, it walks in a wavy line and 

 turns round several times in a circle. 



I have a single specimen, taken on wing the 1st of June.
