Deposited in MHNG.   Diagnosis:In the Galápagosthis species ( Figs 51, 52) is most similar to  Omiodes indicata(Fabricius)( Figs 41, 42), based on size and mostly orange colouration. Generally around 17 mmin wingspan,  S. haemorrhoidaliscan be recognized from  O. indicatain the forewing by the thinner, less contrasting dash in the cell, the absence of a smaller spot anteriorly in the same cell, and the usually straight submedian line without a separate subcostal dash in the hindwing. In addition, the male abdomen of  S. haemorrhoidalishas apical white and black patches on the last and penultimate segments dorsally, whereas the male (and female) abdomen of  O. indicataapically is without any contrasting markings.   Biology:The known host plants of the larva are in family Verbenaceaeand genus  Lantana, especially  L. camaraL. ( Robinson et al., 2014).  Lantana camarais a perennial, invasive shrub present in the Galápagosalong with the endemic  Lantana peduncularisAndersson (Jaramillo Diaz & Guézou, 2015). Specimens available from the Galápagoswere collected in various habitats located between 169 and 329 min elevation, in February and April.   Distribution:Based on BMNH specimens and Patterson et al. (2015)this species described from Brazilis present from the southern USStates of Alabama, Floridaand Texas, through the Antilles, Centraland South America at least to Brazilin the south. It is also distributed widely elsewhere around the world in tropical and subtropical locales (BMNH specimens; De Prins & De Prins, 2015; Robinson et al., 2014; Shaffer et al., 1996). In the Galápagosspecimens collected are from Floreana,  San Cristóbal, and Santa Cruz.   Remarks:The typespecimens (a male and a female from Brazil) of this species were not found in the BMNH, but the typesof synonyms dotatalisWalker, suffectalisWalker, abruptalisWalker, and dircealisWalker are all there. This is the first record of this species for the Galápagosarchipelago, where specimens have been collected in 2004 and 2005. The three available specimens match the original description and BMNH typesof the synonyms mentioned above.  Figs 134-135.
