Diagnosis. Adult ( Figs. 9, 10 View FIGURES 9–16 ). Wingspan male, 19–21 mm, female 22–25 mm. Externally S. elegans could be confused with S. futii , but differs from the former by distinct spot-like orbicular and the shape of antemedial line. In male genitalia ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 49–54 ) it differs from S. futii by thinner valva, vestigial uncus and absence of ring of minute cornuti in basal part of vesica. Females ( Fig. 55 View FIGURES 55–62 ) differ by the shape of antrum and bursa copulatrix.
