Diagnosis. Males of the new species can be easily recognized by the combination of the following characters: i) male HW uniformly brown (as in C. piacaba sp. nov., anterior portion darker in C. olinda sp. nov.), ii) invagination of the outer wall edge extends about 1/3 of the length of the outer wall of the saccus (half in C. parana sp. nov. and 1/ 5 in C. olinda sp. nov.), and iii) tergal lobes robust and enlarged basally, while reduced in C. parana sp. nov. and C. olinda sp. nov.

Description. Male (Pl. 9: Fig. 13, Pl. 12: Fig. 11). Forewing length: 14–16 mm, wingspan: 29–33 mm. Epiphysis present.

Male genitalia (Pl. 18: Fig. 6, Pl. 22: Fig. 6). Tergal lobes slightly sclerotised, enlarged at base, with a posterior and spiniform projection. Saccus with anterior projection mesally constricted, posterior edge of outer wall notched, with invagination running about 1/3 of length of its anterior projection, inner wall deeply concave posteriorly. Tegumen slightly sinuate. Fultura inferior slightly longer than wide.

Female (Pl. 9: Fig. 14). Forewing length: 23 mm, wingspan: 45 mm. Epiphysis present.

Female genitalia. Not dissected.

Distribution. Known from a few localities within São Bento do Sul municipality in Santa Catarina (Pl. 29: Fig. 1).

Etymology. In honour of Clauseli da Rosa (“Kika”), feminine. It is treated as a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.

Remarks. Like the two previous species, C. kika sp. nov. is not variable. It is sympatric to C. olinda sp. nov., but not synchronic. While C. olinda sp. nov. is on the wing during October and November, C. kika sp. nov. flies in February.
