Cibyra claudia, Mielke & Grehan & Koike, 2025

Mielke, Carlos G. C., Grehan, John R. & Koike, Ricardo M., 2025, Review of the genus Cibyra Walker (Lepidoptera: Hepialoidea: Hepialidae) with descriptions of twenty-four new species from Brazil and Argentina, Zootaxa 5709 (1), pp. 1-74 : 59

Cibyra endyra species-group

Six species with four allopatric and localized distributions. Only C. endyra and C. claudia sp. nov. are in close proximity to each other, and with marginal overlap. The track (line graph) geometry (Pl. 30, Fig. 3a ) is consistent with ancestral allopatry of all species, followed by limited local range expansion in C. claudia sp. nov. and C. endyra (Pl. 30, Fig. 3b ).
