Diagnosis. In facies, C. zoquiapana is similar to C. rubigo , but in the female genitalia it differs from all its congeners. The sterigma, cingulum, and signa are similar to those of C. mitrion , and although the lateral folds of the subgenital sternite are reduced, the lateral processes from the base of the postostial sterigma are present.

Description. Wing span 19 mm. Male: Unknown. Female: Head and thorax rust brown. Forewing slender; termen weakly oblique and concave near middle. Ground colour brownish sprinkled whitish; costal strigulae indistinct; ocellar area brownish cream; terminal area mixed rust. Markings indistinct, rust brown, darkest anterior to ocellus. Cilia paler than posterior part of wing. Hindwing cream basally, mixed brownish posterad; cilia more cream. Genitalia ( Fig. 25 ) with postostial sterigma helmet-shaped with well developed lateral sclerites extending from its base; sclerite of antrum not longer that the larger signum; cingulum long, fused with a posterior sclerite; signa moderately large.
