S. azorinus Streck. This insect, which is unknown to me in nature, is said to be from the Azores.Dark brown ; forewing with paler, yellowish, disc and a small apical ocellus ; hindwing with an ill-defined yellow middle band which is strongly incurved above the anal angle and beneath the apex. Fringes chequered. Underside of hindwing with a pure white, sharply defined median band, at the basal side of which there are two white spots, one irregular near the base, the second quadrangular- below the cell. Described form a male. This form, which Strecker placed near neomiris , appears to be allied to alcyone . [3]
