Having recently reconsidered all published descriptions of species 
presumed referable to this genus in the light of considerable 
acquisitions of material, I have satisfied myself of the following 
fresh synonymy : — 
S. externella Walk. (= megaspilellci Walk.) supersedes ciggerata 
Meyr. 
/S'. byssinci Zell, supersedes tetragonella Walk. (= Isabella 
Feld.). 
S. congressella Walk, supersedes melema Wals. (= cora Busck = 
censoria Meyr.). 
S. nonagriella Walk, supersedes argillacea Zell. (= prcecauta 
Meyr.). 
S. xanihosoma Dogn. supersedes sacra Meyr. 
S. nictitans Zell, supersedes he ter oj) a Meyr. 
/S', nimbosa Zell, supersedes vanis Busck ( = bythochroa ileyr.). 
/S', cliionodora Meyr. supersedes vita Busck. 
S. aerinotata Butl. supersedes sperata Busck. 
/S’, qaadratella Walk, supersedes leontocles Meyr. (but hebes Dogn. 
is not identical with this species, as stated by Durrant). 
/S', minna Busck supersedes orthridia Meyr. 
S. thoristes Busck supersedes contumax Meyr. 
/S', salome Busck supersedes clivifera Meyr. 
S. anceps Butl. supersedes prceceps Meyr. 
S. alligans Butl. supersedes obelodes Meyr. 
S. javarica Butl. supersedes paramochla Meyr. 
/S', ochricallis Zell, supersedes marginata Busck (= thymiota 
Meyr.). 
/S', sciaphiliria Zell, supersedes torophragma Meyr. 
/S', scitiorella Walk. (= Iceviuscula Zell.) supersedes felix Busck. 
/S', contarbatella Walk. (= illucidella Walk.) supersedes trochistis 
Meyr. 
S. recurvella Walk, supersedes pseudacma Meyr. 
S. disjecta Zell, supersedes intersecta Meyr. 
/S', leucana Sepp (= tenera Zell.) supersedes neanicci Wals. (but 
virgivalis Butl. is not identical with this as alleged). 
/S', pauperatella Walk, supersedes diatriba Wals. (= linteata 
Meyr. = advocata Meyr. = anita Busck) : in this case 
there is some amount of variation, which shows some 
tendency to localisation, but I have now a long series 
which makes specific discrimination of these forms im¬ 
possible ; the species is common and widely distributed. 
S. melanixa Meyr. supersedes acrosticta Wals.
