Diagnosis
. Forewing length is
12–12.5 mm
in males and
14–14.5 mm
in females.
Barsine siberuta
is a closest relative of
B. cruciata
, from which it differs externally by its more curved costal margin of forewing, the presence of a blackish brown dot at hind end of the discal vein in the forewing cell, the absence of a yellowish discal spot in the cell, and shorter longitudinal blackish brown strokes in the postmedial area. The male genitalia of the new species are similar to those of
B. cruciata
, but can be distinguished by their longer uncus, vinculum being apically pointed, more elongated distal membranous lobe of valva, smaller and basally narrower distal saccular process, longer medial saccular process, narrower aedeagus, narrower vesica and narrower base of the largest cornutus. The female genitalia of
B. siberuta
differ from those of
B. cruciata
by their narrower ductus bursae, narrower corpus bursae and slightly narrower appendix bursae.
