The S. duodecimpunctata species-group

Diagnosis. The male genitalia of the species-group are characterised by the short and broad, lobular valva with a short and weakly sclerotised ventral costal process, the smooth sacculus lacking a distal process, and the complex cucullus bearing a robust claw-shaped dorsal process directed distally, a finger-shaped distal process densely covered with setae, and a nodular ventral process bearing spines or setae. The vesica is membranous, globular or elliptical, and with short diverticula. In one species, Siccia duodecimpunctata s. l., a short cornutus is present. In the female genitalia, the lateral subostial lobes are weakly sclerotised and rugose, the corpus bursae is elliptical, as long as the ovipositor or somewhat shorter, and densely covered with minute spinules, and the appendix bursae is short, semiglobular and membranous.
