REMARKS. The
holotype
of this species is in the Stål collection at the NHRS. The species can be distinguished from all but
S. ahyetios
and
S. pandora
by the lack of infuscation on the apex of the fore wing. The Brazilian,
S. subolivacea
can be distinguished by its primarily greenish tawny coloration, green basal areas of the wings and larger body size (body length
27 mm
, wing span
78 mm
). Both
S. ahyetios
and
S. pandora
are smaller (body length less than
22 mm
, wing span less than
57 mm
), general body coloration ochraceous or than tawny, abdominal tergites fuscous or testaceous, and the basal area of the wings grayish and piceous or red.
DISTRIBUTION. The species is currently known only from
Brazil
(
Metcalf 1963
;
Sanborn 2013
).
