03A6F771635BCF29FF44FC1DFDE712F4.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This newly identified species, S. anchorata sp. nov. (Fig. 1), is related to S. monosa (Fig. 3) and S. wungchanngamii (Fig. 2). It can be distinguished by differences in the male genitalia, particularly the juxta, which is large and features a single lateral process, similar to S. monosa (Fig. 7) and S. wungchanngamii (Fig. 6). However, in S. anchorata sp. nov., the junction between the lateral process and the juxta forms an anchor-shaped structure with a thick base, a tapering shank, and thick, pointed arms of unequal length. In contrast, this structure is sclerotized and shorter in S. monosa and S. wungchanngamii.	en	Irungbam, Jatishwor S., Solovyev, Alexey V.

03A6F771635BCF29FF44FC1DFDE712F4.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name “ anchorata ” is derived from the Latin word “ anchora ” meaning “ anchor ”, referring to the anchor-shaped lateral process in the juxta of the male genitalia. Bionomics. We collected a single specimen in March at altitude about 1970 m a. s. l., with a light trap close to a broad-leaved forest with rhododendrons.	en	Irungbam, Jatishwor S., Solovyev, Alexey V.

03A6F7716358CF2AFF44FB4DFB0D125B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Forewing length 18 mm, wingspan 39 mm in male. The species is very similar to S. chalcites in appearance, but it can be distinguished by the middle of costal margin area of forewing is covered by dense black scales and the medial patch of forewing is conspicuous. In S. chalcites, the forewing only bears small scattered black scales, and the medial patch of forewing is blurry. In the male genitalia, the species has left process of juxta long plate-shaped, which is sawblade-shaped in S. chalcites.	en	Irungbam, Jatishwor S., Solovyev, Alexey V.
