Taxonomic notes
This species is closely allied to two possibly conspecific taxa: rubescens Walker (Burma) and amilada Swinhoe (Sumatra). It differs in several features of the male genitalia: the aedeagus vesica has five equal fields of stout spines whereas in the other taxa there are three or four unequal ones, one of which is almost linear; the valve apex extends further beyond the two lateral processes, the ventral one of which is only a slight swelling; the dorsal one in the other two taxa is larger and spatulate. It is not allied to S. rhodius Rothschild.
Geographical range
Borneo.
