Description in Seitz

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]

gollark: > capitalists when they don't have an actual counter argumnet because theyre objectively wrong:You can't be "objective" in basically any sort of policy question, because it's about values as well as what best satisfies those.

gollark: RECREATIONAL orbital lasers.

gollark: Oh yes, probably.

gollark: I did? Cool.

gollark: You *can* and I think historically *have* had "capitalism" in the sense of "markets and reasonably free exchange" without a state doing much, although having rule of law is helpful.
