Feijen 1998: 50; Meier and Hilger 2000: 4 (specimens from Thailand, unlikely to be S. bipunctipennis); Baker et al. 2001: 93, fig. 1 (specimens from Malaysia, unlikely to be S. bipunctipennis); Meier and Baker 2002: 334 (specimens from Malaysia, unlikely to be S. bipunctipennis); Feijen and Feijen 2019: 39; Jackson 2019: suppl. fig. 1 (specimens from Malaysia, unlikely to be S. bipunctipennis).

Type series.

Sri Lanka: holotype ♂, Ceylon, Indiganga [on label], on plant growing in the water at edge of the Suduganga river, on leaves of Liliacrans plant [on labels], 10.viii.1919 [~ 7°29'22"N, 80°39'46"E, ~ 380 m] (NHMUK) . Paratypes: 7 ♀, 4 ♂, same data as holotype (NHMUK) . Senior-White mentioned in description “ Type, allo-type, and ten co-types ”.

Distribution.

Sri Lanka, India (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu),? Bhutan. Specimens from Bhutan still require confirmation.

Illustrations.

Senior-White (1922) gave a schematic drawing of the wing. Meier and Hilger (2000: figs 12–17, 115, 116, 118) presented photographs of the egg, but these are unlikely to represent S. bipunctipennis . Feijen and Feijen (2019) gave photographs of habitus and head. Life photographs are available (e. g., https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/53700018 © Amila P. Sumanapala). Here, photographs (Figs 142 – 150) of habitus, head, thorax, wing, fore femur, and abdomen are presented.
