Remarks
.
Sycacantha inodes
is similar to
S. catharia
Diakonoff,
1973
in the male genitalia. In the former, the inner part of the socius is finger-like, the apex of cucullus is rounded, and the valva is constricted beyond the sacculus and the neck is distinct. In
S. catharia
the inner part of socius is triangular, the apex of cucullus is truncate, and the valva is not constricted beyond the sacculus.
