oblique to the median vein, then inward, vertical to the inner margin. Exterior line notched outward as far as 
vein 4, far inward in the submeclian fold, where it shows a black spot, slightly double outside, with a triangular

whitish, brownish at the margin. 22—26 mm. North India. 
S. minuta Trnr. (36 f). Similar to sinuosa, grey. Interior line double, black, vertical below the cell, minuta. 
A fine black streak at the cross-vein. Exterior line semicircularly excurved between the costal margin and vein

albonigra Strd. Forewing whiter, with black spots before and behind the interior line in the middle. — 18 mm. albonigra.

S. exophila Meyr. (36 f). Forewing greyish white with a somewhat greenish reflection. A dark brown exophila. 
spot and streak at the costal margin at the base. Interior line far towards the middle, obliquely outward to the 
median vein, then somewhat inward, obliquely outward from the submedian fold. Exterior line black, white 
outside, similarly bent as in minuta. The submarginal line is somewhat more irregularly notched. Hindwing 
more brownish. — The forewing may also exhibit a black short oblique streak at the base: obliquestrigata Strd. —, obliquestri-

S. albescens Wilem. & West. Forewing white, dark brown at the base in front. A broad median band albescens. 
edged with brown, with some brownish filling, the interior border undulate, the exterior one excurved as far as 
vein 5 and again at vein 2, then incurved, the band being twice as broad at the costal margin as at the inner
