Figs 6, 11

No assigned BIN but 246 bp fragments (399 bp gap).

Diagnosis

Similar to C. balteata, but the two bands on the forewing further apart, the cream white band on the hindwing underside is very narrow. Vesica of the aedeagus is shorter than in C. balteata. COI-barcode: the observed distance to the genetically most similar species (C. balteata) is 3.3%.

Etymology

The species is named in honour of Konrad Fiedler, Vienna, Austria.

Type material

Holotype (Figs 6, 11) PERU: ♂, Cusco, Abra Acjanaco [13.201° S, 71.627° W], 3200–3450 m, 7 Jul. 1991, M. Medina leg. (MUSM) (C-0074 with GS-396, COI sequence: 246 bp [399 bp gap]).

Description

As illustrated. Only a single male is known.

Distribution
