Volynkin, Anton V., 2023, Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Siccia Walker (= Aemene Walker, syn. n.) in the Afrotropics with descriptions of seventy-three new species, three new subspecies, and a check-list of Asiatic taxa of the genus (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini), Ecologica Montenegrina 64, pp. 1-184 : 98

The S. punctipennis species-group

Diagnosis. Species of the group have strongly bipectinate antennae in the males. In the male genital capsule, the broad but short juxta with serrulate lateral lobes is characteristic of the species-group. The phallus has a broad ventral carinal plate bearing a dense cluster of long and robust spines. The vesica has elongate diverticula bearing clusters of spine-like cornuti. The female genitalia of the group are characterised by the asymmetrical ductus bursae, which is posteriorly dilated, laterally sclerotised but having a membranous medial longitudinal area.
