Description from Seitz
S. magica Oberth. (41 c). Similar to the preceding Aulocera merlina, but there is a white longitudinal stripe in the cell of both wings on the underside. In the nymotypical form only the cell-stripe of the hindwing appears also above, while ab. lativitta Leech (41c) has a white cell-stripe also on the upperside of the forewing, the upperside of the hindwing being quite white, except the broad black distal margin. — In western China (at Wa-shan and Ta-tsien-lu) and in Tibet, rare, in June and July.[2]
