It is closer to members of the genus  ListaWalker, 1859by having similar long scale hairs in the both wings. But in  S. sinuosa, wings are dim in color, and tibiae of mid legs have no hairs on outside; in  Lista, wings are bright in color, and tibiae of mid legs bear hairs on outside. The assignment of  S. sinuosaneeds further study.
