 Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
Here the confines of Suebia end." The name Sitones does not occur elsewhere, and it would be vain to seek it in the domain of reality.
The Sitones, who were governed by a queen, belonged to the Teutonic mythology, like the Hellusians and Oxionians, mentioned elsewhere in Germania.
It is not impossible that the name Sitones, of which the stem is sit, is connected with the Norse mythological name of the chief citadel in their country - setur (Geirvaðils setur, Iðja setur; cp.

 Ancient Uppsala
This might indicate that the customs of big mounds had come from the north of Sweden to the south, rather than the opposite as could be expected for an expanding tribe of Sveas in Uppland.
In fact, the burial customs could well indicate that they are the remains of the Sitones, perhaps stemming from the bronze age since the burial customs corresponds with those of the urn field culture in Europe during the younger bronze age and pre-roman iron age.
There is a certain group of women mentioned in ancient sources of Sweden, called diser[?], who were believed to be female witches or the like spiritual beings (most likely thought to be human, though).

 Northvegr - A History of the Vikings
Next to the Suiones are the tribes of the Sitones who resemble the Suiones in all respects except that the Sitones have a woman as ruler.
This could mean that their then ruler was a woman or that their sovereigns were always women (my interpretation and the usual one) or that the Sitones were an Amazon tribe where 'the woman rules'.
The words terra feminarum, if not due to an accident of this kind, confirm the statement of Tacitus about the Sitones quod femina dominatur, and strengthen, as Professor Hutton sees, the interpretation of this phrase as 'where the woman rules', thus implying that the Sitones were an Amazonian society.

Their value for feeding purposes increases in the stack, where they may remain for a year or more before threshing.
Pea and bean weevils, both striped (Sitones lineatus) and spotted (Sitones crinitus), and the bean aphis (Aphis rumicis), are noted pests of the crop.
Winter beans come to maturity earlier than the spring-sown varieties, and are therefore strong enough to resist the attacks of the aphis by the end of June, when it begins its ravages.

 The Goats of Hermes Were Goths
The Goths that had not partaken in the migration away from Scandinavia, to Azov, who had remained behind in Gotland (Sweden), were later revealed by historical writings as the "Gautoi" and the "Geats." They are to be slightly distinguished from the Swedes ("Sweon"), however.
"...Sitones resemble the Suiones in all respects except that the Sitones have a woman as ruler."
The Sitones can be traced to the "Sithone" branch of Edones, meaning that the Sithones were likewise Amazons/Meshech (at least in part).

  Ynglinga saga
Identifying the places and peoples that are mentioned in the saga have caused much disagreement among scholars.
After establishing themselves first in Angeln or "Angelen" in Schleswig-Holstein, the Ynglings move to Fyn and Odense in Denmark, and finally to Svitjod where they settle at a place called Sithun (assumed to equal Sigtuna in Sweden or the Sitones who lived in Sweden according to Tacitus).
Though scholars and historians continue to debate the historical accuracy of Snorri's traditional tales, the "Heimskringla" as a whole is still considered an important original source for information on the Viking Age.

Insects comprised 57 percent of its total food, spiders, myriapods, snails, and earthworms, 6 percent; harmful beetles made up 8 percent and caterpillars 14 percent.
Beetles were of three families: click beetles (Elateridae), weevils (Sitones and related genera), and smaller leaf beetles (Systens spp).
Judd writes: "Caterpillars are eaten more freely in May than at any other time, and constitute 33 percent of the food of that month.

Closely bordering on the Suiones are the tribes of the Sitones, which, resembling them in all else, differ only in being ruled by a woman.

Clitus won the war, meaning that Sithones mixed with Celts, and for this reason I must view the Sitones of western Europe as a Celt-Edone mix.
Eurypylos evokes the Poles, called "Polack." Leda is revealed in myth to be a depiction of the swan peoples, which are most-definitely the Ligurians, and possibly the Svions i.e.
the Swedes that were almost identical (said Herodotus) to the Sitones.

Tacitus states, "we have celebrated triumphs rather than won conquests over them".

One of Tacitus's last acerbic comments in the book pertains to this tribe as he says, "so low they have fallen not merely from freedom, but slavery itself".
