Adults of S. sugiurai and S. baribaris emerged from leaf shelters of Actinodaphne acuminata (Lauraceae). Larvae of S. viridis feed on young leaves of Illicium anisatum (Schisandraceae). S. viridis is known from Honshu and Yakushima Island, S. baribaris from Honshu and Kyushu, and S. sugiurai only from Honshu (Wakayama Prefecture).
