S. gremius F. (— divodasa Mr.) *) (Vol. I, pi. 86 f). Dark brown, forewing with a series of hyaline 
spots before the marginal third and generally — though not always — 1 or 2 small spots in the cell-end. Hindwing 
beneath covered with yellowish-brown, and with a variable number of black spots mostly in light rings; but 
sometimes also the whole disc of the wing is suffused with whitish-grey (= subgrisea Mr.). — These dark 
spots of the hindwing usually consist of a central dot and a row of 4 or 5 more dots before the marginal 
third. This row, however, may also be quite absent, whereby the species show quite a different exterior: ab. 
centripuncta ab. nov. (167 h). — chilon Doh., unknown to me, from Sumba, is beneath still lighter than 
subgrisea, the hindwing almost whitish; but above there are no spots on the forewing and beneath only traces 
of them; probably a distinct species. — gremius is a common species in the Himalaya; it extends from the north¬ 
west of it, where it goes on the palearctic region, over Ceylon to Burmah, South China, and Formosa; I took 
it almost exclusively on the blossoms of Lantana hybrida. In much flown specimens the white powdering on 
the hindwing beneath has often disappeared altogether, whereby the dark dots are less contrasting. 
S. sala Hew. (= aditus Mr.) (168 b, c) is smaller than gremius which it resembles otherwise above; 
but the hindwing beneath is almost white in the disc in which the maculae being arranged as in gremius are 
only noticeable as shadows. Sikkim to Java. 
S* bipunetus Swh. ( — aditus Hmps. nec Mr.) (168 c). Above and beneath almost unicoloured dark 
smoky brown; forewing with 3 or 4 small spots, 2 of which are more distinctly prominent. Nilghiri Mts. 
S. migrens Semp. (167 h), from the Philippines, is at once discernible by the forewing beneath 
exhibiting near the anal angle a large, spot-like bright area. 
S. tripura Nic. Above the forewing lacks the hyaline spots, but the light colour of the hindwing beneath, 
which is almost pure white in Javanese specimens (= albescens Mab.) (167 h), appears above in the centre 
of the marginal area. On the hindwing beneath there are instead of the distal row of dots 2 or 3 irregular dark 
nebulous spots. Perak and Pulo Laut; albescens from Java and Bali. 
S. minuta Mr. (— sinhalus Plotz) (168 d), from Ceylon, entirely resembles the preceding ones, but 
the hindwing is above without any white, beneath white with a dark diffuse spot between the cellular dot 
and the margin, next to which there is often yet a very small nebulous spot. 
S. robsonii Nic., described from a specimen from Masuri in the Himalaya, entirely resembles the 
preceding ones, it has no white above and beneath the disc of the hindwing is powdered with ochreous, with 
a fine small diffuse spot in the cell. 
S. phidifia Hew., from Sumatra, is recognisable by a large hyaline spot in the centre of the hindwing. 
Beneath the hindwing is ochreous, through the centre passes a band of 4 brown spots. Size of the preceding 
species. Apparently rare. 
S. nigroguttafus Matsum. (168 c) is compared with gremius in the description, to which it is said 
to be allied, but probably it does not belong hereto, much rather near Aeromachus. Dark brown, the forewing 
with a row of 8 hyaline spots, the 3 most central ones of which are the largest, whereas the 3 apical ones and 
the two next to the hind-margin are very small. Plindwing with a postmedian arcuate row of dark punctiform 
spots. Beneath as above. Formosa, not rare. 
9. Genus; ^iiutda Nic. 
Whilst in the Suastus the costal vein extends before the 1st subcostal branch and terminates into the 
costa, it touches here this branch or almost touches it. Otherwise like the preceding species. 
S. swerga Nic. (= molleri Mr.) (168 c). Above dark brown like the preceding genus, but lighter 
yellowish at the costa and the inner-margin of the basal half in the fore wing and in the whole disc of the 
hindwing excepting the costal area. White hyaline spots in the disc and before the distal margin of the 
fore wing. Hindwing beneath whitish yellow with a brown distal margin and a marginal wedge between the 
median branches. Ceylon and Java. 
S. albums Semp. (168 d), from the Philippines, is at once recognisable by the hindwing being snow- 
white except the costal portion. 
S. cafaleucos Stgr. (168 d), from Palawan and Borneo, entirely resembles albinus, but the white area 
on the hindwing above is confined to the anal third of the wing and proximad somewhat irregularly de¬ 
fined in an inwardly convex bow; hindwing beneath all white except the apex.
