Siga pyronia is a moth in the Crambidae family. It is found in Panama[1] and Costa Rica.[2]

The forewings are pale grey, crossed beyond the middle from the costal to near the inner margin by a wide hyaline band. There is also a square hyaline spot at the end of the cell, with a yellow spot beyond it on the outer side. The costal margin is whitish. The hindwings are pale grey, crossed about the middle from the costal to near the inner margin by a waved, rather wide, hyaline band, edged with a zigzag yellow band on the outer side.[3]
