BIN (holotype): BOLD:AAZ7888.

Diagnosis

While males of C. hausmanni sp. nov. look rather similar as the other three species of the complex, the females are easily distinguished: only females of C. hausmanni sp. nov. possess broad cream white margins and a large pale rosy base of the forewing. The males have purely cream white fringes, a relatively intensive rosy basal area of the forewings and a more contrasting pattern of the hindwings than the related species. The male genitalia are characterised by a rectangular shape of the tegumen (rounded in the other species) and a narrower uncus. The spine-like processes of the valvae are long and slightly curved. COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar species (C. vicinaria ) is 5.0%.

Etymology

The species is named in honour of Axel Hausmann (ZSM), Munich, a leading Geometridae expert in acknowledgment of his support for this study.
