(Figs. 14, 39)  
 Type material. Holotype: male, [Indonesia, Java] “ Djoenggo-Ardjoeno 1500 m, 9.37 [ix. 1937] O.- Java Kalis / Museum Leiden verzameling W.K.J. Roepke, genitalia slide 9-150510 VK.; paratype: 1 male: [Java] Pengalengan, Preanger, BM noctuid slide 20964 (BMNH). The holotype is preserved in RMNH, Leiden, The Netherlands; the paratype is in the collection of BMNH, London.   
 Diagnosis. The new species is close to S. futii and S. futioides. Externally it differs from its allies by grey coloration of the forewing with some greenish tint and by twin, straight antemedial line; from S. futii it differs by clear 8-shaped reniform. In male genitalia it differs from S. futii by broader valva, especially in basal part and the absence of the ring of minute cornuti in vesica; from S. futioides it differs by more developed uncus, which is about two times larger than in S. futioides and broader valva. Males have corematal organ on 8 th segment of abdomen (Fig. 54) formed by thin sclerotized semiring and small coremata, smaller than in S. futii and S. futioides. Female unknown.   
 Description. Adult (Fig. 14). Wingspan 22 mm. Head and thorax brownish-grey; forewing pale brownishgrey, somewhat darker along costa and with light greenish tint; the elements of pattern black or blackish. Basal line marked by blackish scales in basal field; subbasal field pale brownish-grey; antemedial line twin, straight, black, more expressed in costal part, diffused in ventral part of wing; medial field pale brownishgrey, with distinct semilunar orbicular, 8-shaped reniform and thin, dentate medial line, with darker suffusion in ventral part of wing; postmedial line thin, black, arising from costa in mid of wing, above reniform incurved to outer margin, then straight following to lateral margin; subterminal and terminal fields pale brownish-grey, separated by diffused pale line; subterminal field with distinct black subterminal streak, in mid part with brownish suffusion; cilia brownish-grey, pale basally. Hindwing brownish-grey, darker in terminal part, with traceable discal spot; cilia brownish-grey, pale yellowish basally.   
 Male genitalia (Fig. 39). Uncus short, similar to S. futii, larger and much broader than in S. elegans and S. futioides; tegumen and vinculum thin, tegumen about 1.5 times higher than vinculum; juxta shield-like, transtilla developed, with moderate sclerotized plates; valva much broader and massive, especially basally, compared with S. elegans, S. futii and S. futioides, somewhat curved and gradually tapered apically, bearing one strong spine on apex; sacculus massive, with large saccular plate, extending above edge of valva; aedeagus more massive than in S. elegans, vesica membranous, without fine scobination as in S. elegans and ring of minute cornuti as in S. futii.   
 Distribution (Fig. 70). Indonesia, Java. The species is known only from its type-locality.   
 Etymology. The species name is derived from the name of Java Island, the type-locality.
