Diagnosis
Callipia wojtusiaki
sp. nov.
can reliably be separated from the subspecies
C. septentrionalis
subsp. nov
. and from
C. milleri
sp. nov. by the geographical distribution and DNA barcoding only. The uncus of
C.milleri
sp. nov.
tends to be narrower than in the more spatula-shaped uncus of
C. wojtusiaki
sp. nov.
COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the subspecies
C. septentrionalis
subsp. nov
. is 0.8%, and the minimum observed distance to
C.milleri
sp. nov.
is 1.7%.
Etymology
The species is named in honour of Janusz Wojtusiak (deceased), Krakow,
Poland
.

Distribution
Eastern

:
1800–2600 m
. It seems that
C. wojtusiaki

does not occur sympatrically with the subspecies
septentrionalis
subsp. nov
.
, or with
milleri
sp. nov.
or
sihvoneni
sp. nov.
