Orhant (2013) described the species C. tibetica (Figs 16, 17) as a new species based on a female specimen from Markam (= Mangkang) County in SE Xizang, China. He mentioned that the report of C. pilcheri in Hunan by Chen (1999) should actually be classified as C. tibetica, although the original text did not make a comparison with C. kossnerae . Upon examining specimens from various provinces in southern China (including Guangdong and Hunan, extending as far west as Yunnan) and finding no significant differences in appearance and genitalia, it appears that C. kossnerae is widely distributed in southern China and is indeed the same as C. tibetica . While no specimens of similar species from Xizang were examined, a comparison of the type photographs and the original description revealed no noticeable differences in appearance and female genitalia, nor geographical isolation in distribution between C. kossnerae and C. tibetica . Therefore, based on the aforementioned considerations, the latter is deemed a junior synonym of the former. It is noteworthy that C. kossnerae is often misidentified as C. pilcheri, but the two can be distinguished by the characteristics shown in Table 2.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing, Yunnan, Xizang); Vietnam.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E261C19C2F1A5CFDB423B3549F720676	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Apophyses anteriores thick, while the apophyses posteriores thin and approximately equal in length. Ostium bursae relatively straight. Ductus bursae slightly short, with thick anterior half. Antrum cylindrical, strongly sclerotized, extending to membranous and spirally twisted posterior end. Corpus bursae slender, slightly curved, and tie-shaped, covered with fine folds.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species was initially described in Sikkim (now a state in India) and later discovered in the Malay Archipelago and mainland Southeast Asia. Its distribution is the broadest among the four species in the genus, ranging from the northeastern Himalayas to Sumatra and Borneo. Compared to other species, C. pilcheri displays a wider variation in appearance with regionally specific phenotypes. This is mainly seen in the presence or absence of certain small spots (Figs 19, 20, 21): specimens from the Himalayan region (India: Sikkim, China: Xizang, Nepal and Bhutan), have a black-dot orbicular spot; one subbasal line; and two or three black spots near the inner margin of the forewing subterminal line. In specimens from mainland Southeast Asia (China: Yunnan, Thailand), these black spots are often absent. In specimens from the Malay Archipelago, only the black spots on the subbasal line near the inner margin are present. However, specimens collected from Xizang, Yunnan, and Borneo have only slight differences in genitalia, particularly in the smooth, small cornuti row located at the posterior part of the dorsal side of the vesica, which is a distinctive feature of the species. The variations in appearance are not significant enough to warrant interspecific differentiation. Therefore, in this article, they are considered geographical variants of the same species, and their relationship needs further clarification in conjunction with molecular data.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Yunnan, Xizang); India, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/70ECD54940905732AE8C8B9F4A57B7F2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The veins R and M 1 of the hindwings are relatively short, close to 1 / 3 of the hindwing length (Fig. 23). The dorsal surface of abdomen is off-white instead of mostly black. In male genitalia, the uncus is straight and shaped like a ball rod rather than a sickle; the tegumen is helmet-shaped rather than tongue-shaped; the valva is relatively narrow and not very developed; the saccus is in a ‘ ’ U’ ’ shape instead of a ‘ ’ V’ ’ shape, with a smooth bottom; the juxta is shaped like a bull’s head instead of a claw; the aedeagus is relatively short and thick, with a well-developed vesica with multiple medial diverticula; the cornuti more slender and clustered in two distinct patches. In female genitalia, the papillae anales are relatively wide, the ductus bursae is relatively unsclerotized, the corpus bursae is relatively short, long pouch-shaped rather than tie-shaped, and has a strong, hardened spinal signum on the inner side.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Adult (Figs 1, 2).
