Although Cramer's figure appears far too deeply coloured for this species, I have 

 very little doubt of the correctness of my determination. The type of S. pagana of 

 Fabricius is in the Banksian Collection in the British Museum. The larva is clumsy, 

 green, vpith seven oblique lateral white stripes and a very short, aborted anal horn.
