Caution
Many of the insects depicted on these pages are outwardly similar and you should not use photographs as the sole means of identification. These pages form part of a scientific key which will assist a trained entomologist to identify the species accurately.
(Flatidae: Flatinae: Siphantini)
The evenly concave, smooth vertex and the paucity of crossveins in the sutural cell of the clavus make this brightly coloured species quite distinctive from all other species of Siphanta except for S. striata. From this species, it differs by lacking the distinctive striped appearance of the tegmen created in S. striata by the crossveins being coloured pale testaceous as are the cells, rather than orange-yellow like the longitudinal veins.
