and one towards the base of the body ; anal tuft tipped with white. 

 Antennae black, tipped with reddish. Underside of primaries paler 

 than upper surface. Legs black, with faint pale markings. 



I took one specimen of this species at Shimonoseki in July 1886, 

 and there is one in coll. Pryer, Oiwake, June 1887.

I got a nice series of this species in Japan and Corea, showing con- 

 siderable variation in size and number of hyaline spots ; but in Fryer's 

 collection there was a series which had evidently been made up of 

 specimens selected to show something of the entire range of maclar 

 aberration in Japanese S. thelebus. At one end of this series is a peci- 

 men minus the apical spot, and the other spots on primaries are very 

 small, whilst at the other end is an example which has exceedingly 

 large spots, and in consequence might be said to have hyaline primaries 

 with black transverse and longitudinal band-like markings ; between 

 these two are all the intermediate gradations, some of which have the 

 basal spots of all the wings thinly clothed with yellowish scales. In 

 the series I obtained are specimens with an extra hyaline spot above 

 or below the usual apical one, and others which have both these 

 additional spots. 



Expanse 30-40 millim.
