urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:DBD4E060-1768-4EA1-970A-6A8651310369

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

Only known from a single high-elevation locality in the south eastern Andes of Peru, 3200–3450 m, ca 250 km north-west of the collection sites of C. balteata .
