Allied to S. dubitaria, but as large as S. catocaloides. Primaries above dark brown, with 
very faint lilacine tiuge, traversed by numerous pale sinuated lines, the basal half crossed by 
two, irregular, black-bordered dark-brown bands ; a third abbreviated black band, traversed 
by two irregular pale lines from the costa to the first median branch ; a fourth slightly zigzag 
and undulated black band, traversed by an irregularly undulated pale line, across the disk ; 
a submarginal series of white-pupilled black spots, followed by an undulated black marginal 
line J fringe dark brown, traversed by a basal, a central, and a marginal pale line : secondaries 
sericeous fuliginoiis brown ; the disk crossed by four or five macular parallel discal stripes, 
which are obsolete towards the costa, but gradually increase in intensity towards the 
abdominal border, becoming quite black below the second median vein, where they are also 
rendered more prominent by a background of lilacine scales ; a submarginal undulated black 
line, interrupted below the radial vein by a series of five white dots ; the marginal black line 
and fringe as in the primaries : thorax above black-brown, irrorated and transversely striped 
with whitish; abdomen dark fuliginous brown. Under surface of primaries pale fuliginous 
brown, slightly yellowish ; a subangulated blackish baud immediately beyond the cell, 
followed by a sordid white band, which is again followed by a broad, curved, tapering, dusky 
belt ; a sordid whitish spot just within the end of the cell ; a submarginal series of black 
spots, pupilled externally with cream-colour ; fringe traversed by an indistinct, slender, dusky 
line, and tipped with blackish : secondaries greyish brown, with faint pinky reflections ; a 
large, dusky-bordered, whitish discocellular spot, followed by an arched indistinct greyish 
stripe, followed again by two arched undulated dusky discal stripes ; external border broadly 
greyish; submarginal spots and fringe as in primaries. Expanse of wings 84 millim.
