R e m a r k s. The examined specimens are variable with regard to colour and wing markings. S. polychromella belongs to a complex of closely related taxa with more or less distinct differences in colour and markings of the forewings, but with almost similar genitalia. Further studies, with emphasis on molecular data are needed to resolve the taxonomy of the group.
