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