Sicana

Sicana is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by Francis Walker in 1862. Moths in this genus are found in the Indo-Malayan region.

The adult moths typically have a wingspan of around 2 to 3 centimeters. The forewings are often patterned with wavy lines and spots, which can vary in color from brown to gray. The hindwings are usually a more uniform shade.

Species within the Sicana genus are nocturnal and are attracted to light. Their larvae are thought to feed on various plants, though specific host plants are not always well-documented for every species. The exact distribution of Sicana moths covers a range of countries including India, Sri Lanka, and parts of Southeast Asia.

The taxonomy of Sicana has been subject to revision over time, with some species previously placed in this genus now belonging to others, and vice versa. Research continues to clarify the relationships and characteristics of these moths.
