This species exhibits some variation in size and shape, although the male genitalia do not vary. Only two species of Siphanta, S. fusca and S. anomala Jacobi are completely brown in general coloration, although some other species have some brown markings. Some specimens exhibit darker markings on the tegmina similar in pattern to those found on S. patruelis var. maculata Lallemand.
