from beyond this mark to apex; these dots gradually becoming larger 
posteriorly, seventh and eighth somewhat triangular, all alternating with 
fine strigulae ; first and second dots each with a small greyish suffusion 
below costa; a somewhat larger subtrapezoid suffusion below fourth dot 
on middle of costa, connected posteriorly with a large fight greyish-fuscous 
suffusion on posterior half of cell which extends across 3 / s of wing from 
vein 10 to 4, and is angulate posteriorly; dark fuscous transverse strigu- 
lation along middle of lower edge of cell, followed below by some coarse 
transverse dark fuscous striae on middle of dorsum; these marks together 
indicating central fascia, which is preceded by a pair of faint sinuate 
greyish transverse fines from about 1 / 4 of costa to dorsum before middle ; 
a rounded tuft of raised scales on cell in middle of wing, fight fulvous- 
orange ; indistinct narrow transverse curved dark fasciae on dorsum before 
tornus and in tornus ; costal patch indicated by seventh and eighth costal 
dots and a semicircular grey fine uniting them below, filled with greyish 
except along costa; a greyish-fuscous preterminal irregularly Y-shaped 
mark, with anterior arm short, posterior arm and stalk running from 
termen just above tornus to vein 8, somewhat dilated above; a transverse 
strigula before apex. Cilia creamy-white, an antemedian row of dark 
fuscous dots. Hind wing and cilia glossy white. 
Tegumen moderate, narrowed. Uncus with rather narrow base, and 
moderately broad curved hook with ribbon-like bristles at the top, which 
is slightly dilated and rounded. Socius very small, pending. Gnathos long, 
arms rather broad, angularly dilated in middle, hook long, curved. 
Transtilla intricate: a strong transverse bar and long, rather narrow 
labides at the sides with hooked tops. Valva elongate-ovate, concave, 
costa and cucullus densely haired, cucullus excavate, sacculus over x / 2 , 
rather weak, ending in an elongate patch of stout furcate bristles. Vinculum 
small, angulate. Aedoeagus slender, curved, upper edge serrate, a longi- 
tudinal narrow split from middle to before apex. No cornuti. (Slide 
No. 669 D). 
Moss Forest Camp, 2800 m, November 1, 1938. One specimen. Closely 
resembling S. metagrapha spec, nov., but larger, more fuscous-tinged ; also 
allied to S. silochroma spec. nov. ; distinct by the fulvous scale-tuft in disc.
