Diagnosis. The forewing length is 6.5–7.0 mm in males. Siccia kastanota is distinguished from the other species in the group by the intense brown suffusion on the forewing and the dark, blackish-brown hindwing. The male genital capsule of the new species is reminiscent of S. synthetia but differs in the more elongate vinculum, the less medially convex dorsal margin of the valva, the somewhat narrower distal section of the valva, and the markedly broader distal saccular process. The phalli of the two species are similar but in S. kastanota , the dorsal carinal process is somewhat basally broader than in the congener, and the distal diverticulum of the vesica is somewhat more elongate.
The female is unknown.
Molecular data. Currently unavailable for this species.
Distribution. The new species is currently known Gabon and western Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Greek ‘καστανωτό’ meaning ‘brownish’ and refers to the brownish colouration of both wings of the new species. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.
