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 : 79

The S. overlaeti species-group

Diagnosis. The male genital capsule structure of the species-group is reminiscent of that of the S. eberti species-group but differs in the bilobate cucullus, the well-developed ventral costal lobe, and the sacculus bearing thorns and robust setae dorsally. The phallus and the vesica structures of the species-group display no diagnostic differences from the S. eberti species-group. In the female genitalia, the large and heavily sclerotised lateral subostial crests, and the heavily sclerotised ductus bursae are characteristic of the species-group. The similar ductus and postvaginal area structures are known in the S. malfakassa species-group, but the current species-group is distinguished from the latter by the corpus and ductus bursae densely covered with minute spinules.
