Diagnosis. This and S. actuaria Walker are two of the smallest of the straw/fawn coloured species, with the fasciae relatively straight. The wings of inficita
are narrower, the fasciae straighter, the postmedials lacking the black
flecks seen in actuaria.
Geographical range. Flores,
Bali, Timor, Pura, Tenimber; Philippines, Borneo (ssp. philippina).
Habitat preference. Only
three specimens have been located, the holotype, probably from the lowlands of
Sarawak, one from Labuan I. and the other with no altitude data collected by
Waterstradt on G. Kinabalu.
