cinnamon-buff. It can scarcely be a form of butyrosa; I have seen no intermediates and the hindtarsus seems 
a little less shortened. Simla (type) and the Khasis. 
S. coangulata Prout (21 i). Slightly narrower-winged than butyrosa. Antenna of the d with the fascicles 
of cilia rather long, about twice diameter of shaft; hindtarsus about 1 i tibia. Cream-colour, somewhat clouded 
with buff; sparse black irroration present, also (unless on the forewing of some $$) black cell-dots, that of the 
fore wing placed on a small buff spot; the highly irregular postmedian line recalls that of inangulata. Only known 
from the Khasis. 
S. albiflava W arr. Very small (18 mm), somewhat narrow-winged, hindwing with excision between 
the radials well marked; suggestive of a Sterrha (“Ptychopoda”), in which genus Warren inadvertently described 
it, notwithstanding the venation, the 4-spurred hindtibia and the terminal dots (on the wings, not the fringes). 
White, with black cell-dots and rather thick yellowish lines and subterminal shades. Termen of hindwing 
rounded. Khasis, only the type known. 
S. sublutescens Prout (21 i). Ciliation scarcely longer than diameter of shaft; hindleg about as in co¬ 
angulata. The yellow grouncl-colonr considerably whiter than in butyrosa , a few small blackish scales generally 
discernible, in any case forming some minute terminal dots; the yellow lines less sinuous than in butyrosa; fore¬ 
wing beneath more suffused with reddish-smoky than in that species. Also confined to the Khasis. 
S. complanata Warr. (21 i). Less weakly marked, especially as to the subterminal shades, which enclose 
a definite, sinuous white subterminal; black cell-dots (especially on hindwing) generally well developed, also 
some (minute) terminal dots. The light-brown (rather than yellow) lines on a white ground-colour distinguish 
it from sublutescens and the d hindtarsus and antennal ciliation may be somewhat longer. Punjab to Upper 
Burma, the type from the Khasis. Somewhat variable; the darkest-marked specimens can be confusingly like 
undulataria. 
S. unilineata Warr. (21 i). This name was given in order to indicate the obsolescence of the antemedian 
line and the strongly band-like formation of the median and both subterminals, so that only the postmedian 
can be called a line; this is unusually proximally placed and is in the type $ fine and (on the forewing) slightly 
black-marked between the radials. Khasis. My Darjiling $, here figured, lacks this mark and has the minute 
black cell-dot of the hindwing placed on the postmedian, thus scarcely noticeable. Hindtarsus of the d some¬ 
what shorter than hindtibia. 
S. undulataria Moore (21 i). On the whole larger than complanata; more irrorated with grey and more 
coarsely marked. Variable but generally recognizable by a thickening of the postmedian line and very often 
a proximal suffusion of the forewing on the u p p e r side, though not so intense as on the under. Hindtarsus 
of d somewhat shortened. Sikkim to Upper Burma. 
S. seductilis Prout (21 i). Close to the following, perhaps hardly more than a subspecies. Antennal 
ciliation of the d a little longer. Forewing, at least in the d> a little broader. Colour paler, median shade on 
the forewing less thick, less brown, rather less strongly curved, on the hindwing closer to the cell-dot, curved 
basewards in the cell so as to escape it; cell-dot of hindwing on an average less large. W. Sumatra. 
S. consimilata Warr. (21 i). Antenna of d dentate-fasciculate, hindtarsus at least 3 / 5 as long as tibia. 
Somewhat ochreous, the blackish or fuscous irroration strong, the lines pale brown, the postmedian rather 
distally placed. marked with black dots on the veins. Underside pale, with the outer lines strongly marked, 
the forewing in part suffused. Khasis. — ab. (?) aggravata Warr. was described, also from the Khasis, as a 
separate species, but is at most a more strongly irrorated aberration, perhaps a synonym — 1 d in fresh condition. 
S. parodites Prout. Also very near consimilata, somewhat browner, the median shade more slender, 
the fringe unspotted; antennal joints in the d scarcely projecting, ciliation very little longer than the diameter 
of the shaft; hindtarsus of d scarcely over % tibia. Selangor; Knala Lumpur, 1 d; a 5 from Mergui is slightly 
paler. 
S. inangulata Warr. (21 i). Antennal joints of d projecting, ciliation rather long; hindtibia moderately 
dilated, tarsus at least %, perhaps rather more. Akin to consimilata, but easily distinguished by less broad 
wings and by the postmedian line, which is more proximally placed; the sinuous subterminal is strong, placed 
between grey shades. Khasis. 
S. corrupta Prout. Expanse 24 mm. Narrower winged than consimilata and seductilis, forewing shaped 
more as in nigristellata (21 k) and per j Hat a (21 k) but with the tornus slightly less prominent, hindwing with 
the angle at 3rd radial extremely slight. Antenna subserrate, ciliation fairly long; hindtarsus fully % tibia. 
Wings much more suffused than in consimilata (though irregularly), markings similar, but — excepting the sharp
