Diagnosis.
This species shares a similar wing pattern and polymorphisms with
S. cucullioides
and
S. signifera
; all have basal pale or dark-brown zones which extended to the medial or postmedial lines. This species also resembles
S. ferrifera
(Walker, 1863)
distributed in
Malaysia
, but its medial line is strongly curved inwards below CuA2, and is vertical to the anal margin in
S. ferrifera
. The male genitalia are distinguishable by the shape of the membranous webbing of the valva, which lies from the base of the costal lobe in
S. macromma
, but from the end of the costal lobe in
S. cucullioides
and
S. signifera
. In
S. macromma
the costal lobe is compressed basally (not compressed in
S. ferrifera
); the cornutus is absent (two groups of cornuti present in
S. ferrifera
), the uncus is slightly broadened basally, but not in
S. ferrifera
.
