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.
