reddish, the $ brownish, especially at the costal margin. A dark brown streak at the lower cell-margin. The 
dark stripe at the inner margin narrower. A dark spot at the cross-vein, not being present in striata. Black 
basal dots at veins 3 and 4. The light submarginal line borders at the anal angle on the dark band, lighter 
behind it there. The forewing is told to be narrower than in striata. 42—46 mm. New Guinea and the neigh¬ 
bouring islands. 
S. ochrota Hmps. (33 f). Body dark brown. Patagia and forewing ochreous. Obliquely red-brown at 
the apex and anal angle, these two areas touching each other at the margin at vein 6. A very indistinct 
brown band from below the middle of the costal margin to y 3 inner margin where it is connected with a basal 
spot, dark also behind the cell. Transverse lines indiscernible. The somewhat lighter submarginal line is 
somewhat more distinct on the dark ground. Hindwing normal. 48 mm. Only 1 <$ known from North India. 
S. griseata Hmps. (= subobliqua Mr. nec Wkr.). Thorax and forewing greenish white. Ring-macula 
and reniform macula indicated by purer white spots. A small red-brown spot at the middle of the costal margin 
and a large triangular one opposite at the inner margin. Corresponding spots at the apex and anal angle. - 
Besides there may be a strong black line at the lower cell-margin, extending almost to the base of vein 2: strigi- 
fera Strd. 32—38 mm. India, Ceylon, Singapore. — superans E. Prout (34 c), from Ceram, is larger (37—44 mm). 
Forewing of E more stretched, the ground-colour whiter, the spots darker brown. We figure a $ from Ceram, 
which, however, is not very dark brown. 
S. macromma Sn. (31 c). After the two light, species follows a very dark one again. Body red-brown. 
Fore wing chocolate brown as far as the centre of the costal margin and as far as the anal angle, the rest lilac 
brown. The maculae edged with dark, hardly recognizable, like the transverse lines. Exterior line double, indi¬ 
cated by the interjacent white dots. Submarginal row of white dots double. 45 mm. Celebes, Tonkin, New Guinea. 
S. polysticta E. Prout. Forewing yellowish brown in the basal half, whitish outside. Chocolate brown 
spots at the costal margin, in the cell and below it, producing a band extending to the inner margin near the 
base. Reniform macula narrow, edged with white. The exterior line is a double row of white dots like the sub- 
marginal row. According to the figure the space from the exterior line is dark. These rows of dots are similar 
to those in macromma. The dark margin of the hindwing is narrower than usual. $ 40 mm. New Guinea. 
S. dispar Swh. and the following commutata are likewise similar to macromma (31 c). Forewing dark 
chocolate brown, almost black, somewhat paler at the base and outside. The markings are very indistinct. Out¬ 
side at the reniform macula there is a pale, somewhat reddish band with extinct black spots. Exterior band very 
indistinct, parallel to the distal mai'gin. Hindwing with a very broad dark margin. 48 mm. New Guinea. 
S. commutata Swh. resembles dispar, but there is a large round white spot below the cell at the base 
of vein 3, extending into the cell and to before vein 2. A few brownish ochreous scales at the base of the wing 
and on the thorax. Hindwing as in dispar. 48 mm. 2 $$ from New Guinea. 
S. bisexualis Hmps. (34 c). Forewing red-brown, lighter in the basal half above the inner margin. In¬ 
terior line black, double, undulate. Traces of a coniform macula, ring-macula and reniform macula brown, edged 
with white. Median line brown, straight, slightly extra-angular in the middle. Exterior line double, outward 
as far as vein 5, vertical at the inner margin, notched, behind it dark violet and a pale line. Submarginal line 
whitish, with black spots outside and inside at the costal margin and in the submedian fold. Hindwing normal. 
The $ is lighter on the forewing, with a white spot in the marginal area below the middle. Besides there are 
2 forms: — 1. albivertex Strd. (34 c). Forewing greyish red-brown. Pale olive ochreous near the base from the 
costal margin to vein 1. — 2. kebeae Strd. Forewing with a reddish yellow discal spot extending at the inner 
margin to the base. — 45 mm. Described from New Guinea, occurring also in Tonkin. 
S. variegata Hmps. (34 d) is considerably lighter than bisexualis. Brownish white. A reddish yellow 
spot at the costal margin at the base, the inner margin broadly yellow in the middle. Interior line finely 
black, double, filled with white, quite indistinct at the inner margin. Ring-macula and reniform macula dark, 
finely edged with white. Median line scarcely discernible, vertical to the inner margin. Exterior line corre¬ 
sponding to the interior line, parallel to the distal margin. Submarginal line of the same kind, less distinct. 
Hindwing with a narrower margin. 40 -44 mm. Malacca, Borneo. — manuselensis E. Prout is more intensely 
dusted black on the forewing. The narrow light stripe at the inner margin is not widened behind the interior 
line as in variegata. The light spot: between the reniform macula and the ring-macula is absent . Lighter behind 
the exterior line. Marginal band of hindwing still narrower. 3 ($<$ from Ceram. 
S. semialba Wkr. (34 d). Forewing whitish, more or less tinged with olive. A triangular chocolate 
brown spot at- the base at the costal margin. Right behind it the indistinct light interior line. The coniform 
macula is a black dot, the ring-macula slightly darker, edged with light, large. Interior line black, slightly ex- 
curved in the middle, broadly brown behind it at the costal margin, narrower and darker brown at the inner 
margin. The reniform macula in it large, lighter, edged with dark. Exterior line black, notched, somewhat 
outward as far as vein 5, then to the inner margin near the median line. The white submarginal line notched,
