Proboscis not visible. Palpi extending far beyond the head ; 

 third joint elongated. Hind tibiae with two short apical spurs. 

 Fore wings slightly convex, and extremely oblique along the exte- 

 rior border. 



" Fore wings considerably rounded along the apical margin. 

 Veins of the fore wings similarly arranged to those of S. Mimosce, 

 &c, but those of the hind wings are peculiar in having the veinlet 

 which connects the inner branch of the post-costal vein and the 

 outer branch of the median vein closing the discal areolet so oblique 

 (as well as subangulated in the middle) that it seems like a real 

 fourth branch of the post-costal, running down within the outer 

 margin of the tail, the base of the outer branch of the median vein 

 being so thin and short that it resembles the ordinary condition of 

 the veinlet closing the areolet, although its nearly longitudinal 

 direction indicates its real nature as a branch of the median vein. 7 '
