This species and the females of S. nostalis were formerly confounded together ; conse- 
quently Mr. Walker's description of S. simplex is a compound one, in part corresponding to 
each species. The colour is that of S. nostalis, as also the description of the hind wings and 
body ; but the front wings are described from an example of S. kuhlweinii.
