Comment:   Changed my first opinion of S.delagoae but I don't think it can be accurately identified. Could be S.depauperata or a good record of S.secessus?

Comment:   I have had a good look at this guys and I think it is delagoae. The unevenly chequered HW cilia I think rules out secessus, and the 'streaky' FW cilia are more like delagoae than depauperata. Plus it was found in bushveld not grassland; the other two
