Type material examined . Holotype (by monotypy) ( Fig. 265 ): male without abdomen, “ Sierra Leone . | W.G. Clements. | July 1895 ” / red ring label “Type | H.T.” / “ Siccia | paucipuncta | type ♂ . Hmpsn.” / QRcode label with unique number “NHMUK010292541” ( NHMUK ). Diagnosis . The forewing length is 5.0 mm in the male holotype . The species is currently known only from the holotype lacking the abdomen therefore its male genitalia structure remains unknown making its placement within the genus unclear. However, S. paucipuncta is externally reminiscent of S. semliki and therefore the species is provisionally assigned to the S. mayombe species-group. Molecular data . Currently unavailable for this species. Distribution . The species is currently known only from Sierra Leone (without exact locality data) ( Hampson 1918 ).
