Definition and diagnosis. Phylogenetic trees reveal that a specimen from Panama identified as Callimormus corades (C. Felder, 1862) (type locality in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro) shows prominent genetic differentiation from it ( Fig. 7): e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 3% (20 bp) and, therefore, represents a new species, provided that we sequenced primary type specimens of taxa treated as synonyms of Callimormus corades and show that they are distinct from the new species ( Fig. 7). This new species keys to C. corades (J.2.7) in Evans (1955) but differs from it by discal spot in ventral hindwing cell Sc+R 1 -RS slightly more offset basad, rounder discal spots on forewing, and generally more prominent yellow overscaling of veins on the ventral side, more evident as a yellow bar at the end of discocellular vein ( Fig. 181–182). Due to the cryptic nature of this species, most reliable identification is achieved by DNA and a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic in the nuclear genome: aly2041.16.10:C33T, aly159.20.1:C99G, aly814.17.1:G105A, aly4007.2.5:G48A, aly 1631.11.9:T43G, aly50.38.2:G177G (not C), aly686.17.2:G54G (not A), aly60.25.7:C69C (not A), aly26.25.5:C138C (not T), aly6847.3.5:C54C (not T), and COI barcode: T212C, 271A, C334T, T337A, T574C.

Type material. Holotype: ♀ deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA ( USNM), illustrated in Fig. 181–182, bears the following five rectangular labels, four white: [Farfan, | Panama C. Z. | 17 Feb. ’63 | S. S. Nicolay], [ Callimormus | corades | Felder | DET.BY S.S.NICOLAY], [DNA sample ID: | NVG-19016G06 | c/o Nick V. Grishin], [USNMENT | {QR Code} | 01532350], and one red [HOLOTYPE ♀ | Callimormus | rades Grishin ].

Type locality. Panama: Panama Province, Farfan.

Etymology. The name is formed from its sister species name ( C. corades ). By shortening the name, we specify a more northern distribution of this species. The name is a noun in apposition.

Distribution. Currently known only from the holotype collected in Panama.
