Abstract: The Riemann curvature correction to the type II supergravity at eight-derivative level is given schematically as $(t_8{t}_8+18ep{s}_{10}ep{s}_{10})R^4$ at tree-level. The replacement of the generalized Riemann curvature in $t_8{t}_8{R}^4$, proposed by Gross and Sloan, produces various NS-NS couplings which are invariant under T-duality. Recently, using the combination of S-duality and T-duality transformations on these couplings, we have found groups of couplings which are invariant under the S-duality transformation. In this paper, we have examined the couplings involving the dilaton with direct scattering amplitude calculations of four NS-NS vertex operators in the superstring theory and found exact agreement. The coupling $ep{s}_{10}ep{s}_{10}{R}^4$ is a total derivative term at four-field level. The $sigma$-model beta function approach implies the presence of this term at the tree-level. By examining the sphere-level scattering amplitude of five gravitons, we have also confirmed the presence of this term in the tree-level effective action.
