Differs from all the preceding genera in having the termen of both wings rounded; that of the forewing 
indented below the apex which is produced to form a slight rounded lobe; the palpi stout, upturned in front

short. Type S. quadrapex Hmps.

margin; the costal area beyond it violaceous white; outer line acutely angled outwards to below apex then 
inwardly oblique, and lunulate dentate; subterminal line very obscure, dentate, marked with white at costa; 
a small chocolate spot on the apical lobe, where the fringe is purplish, the rest rufous tipped with pink and 
white; hind wing bright yellow at base, suffused with purple beyond middle; median line diffuse, rufous;

from a black costal dot; a black dot at middle of cell and brown spot at end; median line dark, 
oblique to 6 just beyond cell, incurved below 4; outer line slight, oblique from costa, then dentate, in¬ 
curved below vein 4; costa towards apex redbrown; subterminal line formed of small dentate blackish marks 
above middle,-sinuous and excurved below; an oblique red brown streak from apex; fringe grey with red- 
brown line at middle and redbrown tips; hindwing similar. Described from a single $ from Sangir. 
S. discata spec. nov. (24a). Forewing ochreous washed with olive brown; the lines dark brown; discata. 
the inner marked only by dots on the veins and intervals; median line very oblique to vein 7, the outer less 
oblique, both lost in an oblique thick brown line from apex to middle of inner margin, followed by a fine lunu¬ 
late dentate dark line; a row of black dots before termen; fringe brown; the reniform stigma a large oval black 
spot; hindwing with similar lines, not marked above cell; underside yellowish with the termen brownish 
fuscous, narrower and darker in the hindwing; head and thorax greyish ochreous; dorsum brownish grey with 
paler segmental rings. 1 $ from Milne Bay, British New Guinea, Febr. 1899 (A. S. Meek). Allied to quadrapex 
Hmps. from S. India and Burma. A $ from Mt. Goliath, Dutch New Guinea, 5000 to 7000 feet, Febr. 1911, 
also taken by Meek, -—- subsp. obscura subsp. nov. (24 a) is uniform brownish grey, with the costal edge obscura. 
fulvous yellow to outer line, then ferruginous and broader; the inner line complete, wavy; a small black dot in 
cell before the large discal spot; median line absent; outer line diffusely black to vein 7 where it is joined 
by a diffuse black apical streak, then continued to inner margin as a fine dark line edged by paler; the terminal 
line and fringe bright ferruginous; the face, tegulae, and outside of palpi dark brown grey. 
S. fulvipennis spec. nov. (24 a). Forewing brownish ochreous, the costal edge paler; inner line fulvipennis. 
from a black costal dot, fine and indistinct, angled inwards on median vein, outcurved above and below; 
outer line thick and oblique from costa to vein 6, where it is marked by a black spot and met by a short dark
