Diagnosis. This species is similar to S. melanobasis and S. penicilasa sp. nov. by the similar wing pattern but slightly paler than the latter two. In genitalia, the species is characteristic by its juxta bifurcated to about 1/4 length, lateral lobes expanded and rounded in male and two thorn-like singa in female.
Description. Adult. Forewing length 10.0–12.5 mm (n =13). Head fuscous, mixed with yellow scales; labial palpus upturned, fuscous and mixed with black; base of third segment with a few white scales; third segment pointed; antenna yellow, and base of antenna darker than terminal. Scape extension exceeding thorax, and with yellow scales, end of scape extension with more black scales than base, and with more black scales laterally. Thorax fuscous with black scales. Forewing covered with fuscous scales at base area; medial area pale yellow mixed with fuscous scales; outer area with fuscous scales; a black discocellular patch present; postmedial line fuscous, waved; cilia brown. Hindwing usually all fuscous, with a blurred postmedial line.
Male genitalia. Uncus elongated and sender, densely covered with setae laterally, apex turncated. Gnathos with slender arms at lateral, joined from middle, with median process distally hooked. Valva slightly constricted from middle to apex. Juxta bifurcated to about 1/4 length, lateral lobes expanded and rounded. Phallus slender, a row of minute spine-like cornuti.
Female genitalia. Ovipositor broad and strongly sclerotized, densely suffused with setae. Apophysis anterioris about 2/3 length of apophysis posterioris. Ostium broad, partly sclerotized. Ductus seminalis arising from just below the ostium. Ductus bursae membranous, constricted at postion of ductus seminalis. Corpus bursae round and about same length of ductus, with two thorn-like signa.
