This species shares the similar wing patterns and polymorphisms with S. signifera , but has a special pattern: one of the forms has an even grey (male) or cream (female) band from the base to the outer margin and almost the complete width of the forewing; the anal margin, tornus and apex of the forewing have pale brown or cream markings, which sometimes connect together (followed Holloway 1985 ). The differences of the male genitalia between this species and S. signifera are as discussed above. Material examined.
