The species ( Fig. 18 ) has a characteristic shape of the forewing with oblique costal margin in the basal part and almost parallel costal and ventral margins in the whole length of the wing; crosslines and spaces between lines appear in costal area as brown-greenish and brownish marks. In the male genitalia of S. rectilinea ( Fig. 41 ) valva relatively shorter than those in S. rectilinoides , constricted distally above quadrangular sacculus; the vesica armed with patch of tiny setae-like cornuti. The detailed comparative diagnosis of this species is given above in the diagnosis of S. rectilinoides .
