whitish. Palpi 21, whitish-ochreous mixed with fuscous, basal joint white. 
Antenne whitish. Abdomen ochreous-whitish. Legs ochreous-whitish, 
unicolorous. Forewings elongate, narrow, somewhat triangular, costa 
hardly arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin very faintly sinuate, oblique ; pale 
whitish-ochreous ; an oblong very oblique blackish spot from base of costa, 
reaching more than half across wing; a large sharply defined quadrilateral 
blackish blotch, extending along costa from 1 to 2, reaching only half across 
wing, anterior edge parallel to oblique spot, lower edge parallel to inner 
margin, posterior edge forming a right angle with lower edge; inner 
margin broadly suffused with whitish from 1 to anal angle; reniform white, 
anteriorly touching costal bloteh, posteriorly ill-defined; space between 
costal blotch and second line suffused with whitish ; second line distinct, 
white, dark-margined, obsolete below costal blotch ; terminal space irrorated 
with dark fuscous, especially towards costa; subterminal line cloudy 
whitish, obscure, not touching second line: cilia whitish, with a dark 
fuscous line. Hindwings 1$, grey-whitish ; postmedian line and hind- 
margin faintly darker; cilia whitish. : 
Allied to S. melanagis, but much narrower-winged (though the male may 
probably not differ so mueh in this respect); immediately separated by the 
very different form of the black costal blotch, which does not pass downwards 
beyond middle of wing, and therefore appears very much more compressed 
longitudinally,
