Allied to S. anomalus Regan (Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 
xvi. 1905, p. 327, pl. ii. fig. 4), but with the nasal tentacles double 
or even triple, one or sometimes two shorter tentacles originating 
at the base of the longer one. Dorsal XII 17, the spines not 
produced, the longest not more than 4 the depth of the body. 
Anal 20. Caudal truneate or slightly trilobed. Blackish or dark 
brownish ; middle rays of caudal dusky. 
Six specimens, measuring up to 60 mm. in total length. 
The presence of posterior canines in the lower jaw led me to 
re-examine S. anomalus and I find they are present, but often 
hidden by a fleshy fold.

Amongst a collection of Lepidoptera obtained in the Cameroons, 
T have been able to distinguish 74 species of Hesperiide, including 
those described in this paper. Professor Aurivillius has recorded 
62 in his list of Butterflies from the Cameroons (Ent. Tidsk. 
1896, pp. 279-291), and the following species are not referred to 
by him, 32 in all, making about 100.
