About Siga pyronia Druce, 1895

Siga pyronia is a species of moth belonging to the Crambidae family. It was first formally described by Herbert Druce in 1895. This moth is found in Panama and Costa Rica.

Its forewings are pale grey. A broad, glass-like (hyaline) band crosses the forewings beyond their middle, stretching from the costal margin to near the inner margin. At the end of the forewing cell sits a square-shaped hyaline spot, with a yellow spot located just beyond it on the outer side. The forewing costal margin is whitish.

The hindwings are also pale grey. A wavy, rather broad hyaline band crosses the hindwings around their middle, extending from the costal margin to near the inner margin. The outer edge of this hyaline band is bordered by a zigzag-shaped yellow band.
