Abstract
A new lichen moth genus, Lithosiccia gen. n. similar to Siccia Walker, 1854 and Palaeosiccia Hampson, 1900 is described and assigned to the subtribe Cisthenina. Two new combinations are introduced: Lithosiccia juvenis (Holland, 1893), comb. n. and Lithosiccia major (Kiriakoff, 1958), comb. n. Four new species are described: Lithosiccia takanoi sp. n. (Sierra Leone), Lithosiccia mikra sp. n. (western Uganda), Lithosiccia bota sp. n. (Gabon and Republic of the Congo), and Lithosiccia smithi sp. n. (Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast and Liberia). A lectotype is designated for Nudaria juvenis Holland, 1893 in order to stabilise the nomenclature. Adults and both male and female genitalia are illustrated.
